Oooook, like many folks I've been playing (maybe too much) chess thanks to the Queen's Gambit. Quick thread on a few learning resources I've found fun and useful in the last few weeks ⬇️♟️
Conversation
(As usual, for me the best way to find resources wasn't a search engine, but instead:
- Find a community on Reddit or Twitch
- Join the Discord
- Find a friendly and active channel
- Look at the pinned messages and find a Google doc linked)

.'s YouTube channel, specifically this video: youtube.com/watch?v=Ao9iOe
- Focusing on fundamentals
- Setting practice goals for a game, better for improving than just focusing on winning
- Curiosity mindset: "I'm curious how my opponent will respond to this."
