I actually liked the games we played. I don't think I did well in particular but analysing why is gonna be helpful

I want to get back into chess, beginner level resources you'd recommend? I've forgotten how to execute simple forks

Chess.com got puzzles in there. You get to play against people your level. It's a good app. I was rusty and hadn't played. It's helped me get back up but I got a ways to go. Get on the app. And watch good chess players stream on YouTube. Eric Rosen. Agadmemom or something. Hikaru. They explain their thought process. It takes a lot to make a leap but it's more of a way to process what's happening. Like @luciddreamer beat me. But I had a sense he would because of how he constructs things. And even the name tells me something about thinking abstractly. And I saw it in prior games when hes in space. He deserves the crown.

Tournament was a breeze for you overall?

I wouldn't say a breeze, the game i played with copious i think, i feel he could've caught me with an easy scholars mate if he caught my mistake. And the one with illwin, time ran out, but i was one move away from checkmate.

World championship match is going on between Magnus and Nepo. Game 2 was crazy. The middle game was so complicated. I never seen that one before. It the queen gambits declined.

I thought Nepo had that game won but this is Magnus we’re talking about
