I've been watching chessbrah's stream on twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/chessbrah)

he's a pretty chill guy and I play counter-strike with him sometimes. It's clear he is :spergin: but he goes on dates and has a nice body, plus he's the highest rated player in Canada.

I haven't been getting enough respect for being pro level at computer games so I started playing chess and apparently you have to memorize thousands of scenarios and counter-plays to compete on the pro level.

Is it even worth trying if you have a normal mundane brain ?

to really go pro at chess these days you need to start super young and have a natrual gift for it. there are 10 year olds who are better now than you'll ever be if you're over 21 and just thinking of starting to pick it up

just play because you enjoy it.

also magnus isn't spectrum he's just Norwegian.

Look to your left. Look to your right. Only one of you is going to pass this course.
i've been playing regularly for about 4 or 5 years and I'm still absolutely terrible but who cares, it's fun and it feels good to win. you'll never be pro unless you have been playing since you were a toddler. you may as well pick up baseball and try to become pro.

Don't try and go pro just play chess because it's a fun game
