Hello! My second favorite game after poker is chess.

I like the varity of topics on forum CardsChat. But when I searched "Chess" I saw several chess threads but I didn't find common thread about game. And then I made a decision to create this thread! Here we can talk about everything of chess: strategy and tactics, chess news, last World chess championship etc.

Further it would be great to play together! There are some special sites, the most popular of which are these:

https://www.chess.com/ - Chess.com
https://lichess.org/ - Lichess

I prefer first. There is a possibility to create a club and play team matches vs other clubs and also play intraclub tournaments. I took courage to create club dedicated to CardsChat :)
(I hope, I'll not get strike for title and pictures using without moderators' permission:D)

It's here: https://www.chess.com/club/cardschat
Be sure to join! It'll fun!:icon_thum
I suppose club needs additional admins so please write here if you want to become club admin! We need finish club decoration and then create team matches.
Also maybe someone will create community on lichess.

For motivation of participating in intraclub tournaments I'll award winners month premium on Chess.com! It's like chess freeroll - match the CardsChat! :)

And I suggest this themes for discussion:
When did you first start to play chess?
What is chess for you: sport or hobby?
Your FIDE rating (if exists)
Your chess achievements (maybe, title)
Who is your favorite chess grandmaster?
Your favorite openning?
And sure suggest yours!

P.S. I hope we'll get chess subforum in the future. There we'll be able to split our talk on threads.

I'll begin! ;)

I first started to play chess when I was 5 years old. It was just fun for me. Then I learned chess in chess school for kids. Sometimes I participated in the tournaments (I was 8-11 years old). In childhood I've got the second rank (of 4 ranks: in Russia it's degrees of chess player, from 4 to 1). It's about 1600 ELO. And I had stopped chess.

10 years later I had wanted to come back in chess!:) And now I play in chess in university and sometimes in state tournaments. My current rating is 1819. My goal is surely world champion! :D But at first - GM.

My favorite openning is Sicilian Defense. In my opinion the most fire games always start with 1. e4 c5.
I like Magnus Carlsen's game style. His match vs Caruana demonstrated his rapid power.
