I did this a long time ago, when I wanted to get good at chess but almost every single time I would start to "win" the person would quit the game. WTF? It is pointless to play chess virtually imo. And I have time constraints, we are not going to be playing one game for an hour.

Learned a lot from this guy. He has a series where he's playing different people at different levels. He points out common mistakes and strategies that you would see at each level. Would definitely recommend this for beginners.
From what I’ve seen of the site, the longest game is 10min(each side). Which is good for pick up and go games, but not too blisteringly fast as the bullet 1minute or 3min games.

Also, the ranking system on chess.com makes it so that a player who just rage quits will be have their rank sent to the shadow realm where they are forced to play with similar badly ranked/badly behaved players (400lvl or below). Conversely, if you beat this theoretically badly behaved player, your own rank will rise placing you with people who value CHESS as much as you. Does this seem doable for you, @pickles ?
The standard format there is a 10 minute rapid game. You get a total of ten minutes. If you run out of time, you'll lose based on time unless the other person has little to no material (pieces) left. I like it because it gets you thinking quicker, and you don't have to sit there and have a two hour game.
I'm not good, and I have been around 350-450 since I started.

Lichess is a much much better site.
Set up the thread or discord breh. I'm down for a chess tournament.
First of all I think we should get a headcount up of how many people are actually in.
I'm happy to help with behind-the-scenes organisation but I ask for someone else to lead the actual creation of a thread for this.
Sounds fair. Let's get the platform and headcount decided in this thread and we'll move forward with a tournament thread.

Chess is dope but I would love to play something with more fukkery with the coli like some silly card game or board game that’s more of chances than strategy. Mics hooked up too
