i kind of want a moderately nice chess set someday. i feel like i could get better at the game if i physically had a chess set to like, try shit out for myself on idk

it would be cool to understand chess on a deeper level

i think it was Ludwig from the Yard who described all chess hobbyists as dopamine addicts because “it’s so easy to set up a game, the bar for entry is super low, and it feels Really good to win” and like. bro i could use a new source of dopamine lmao
