Anyone on TI actually play chess?

[Clivney]

I've been playing chess daily for about 2 years now.

Does anyone else actually play chess on a daily bases?
>If so, what's your ELO?
I can usually beat hard computers (1600)+ but with great effort.

I played against these brothers from France for three years in the beginning of my high school career.

Never got above 1600 ELO, if you ever want to play a game or two I'm eager to get back into it, played bouts of 5 min blitz last year but could never get flagging down right and usually got my ass kicked.

Totally casual thing though, could never commit real time to memorizing and long strategic planning.

How exactly do you play chess competitively? Online?

I used to play chess a lot as a kid as a hobby. I think it'd be fun to start playing it again, plus it's great exercise for the brain.

I don't play but I know it's Elo not ELO

Yes, I usually play on lichess.org, you can play anonymously (in case you don't like stats).
