Could any #chesspunks point me in the right direction to downloading a #chess games database? I'm not sure where to start, but I see others do it and it looks fun.
Ideally something that I could store locally and free.

Imagine having the confidence to wear mirrored glasses, allowing your opponent to see all of your pieces.

What's the Point of Puzzles?

I am not 100% happy with some of the line weights, but I am too lazy to correct them.

In #chess or any other domain that is skill based, you either win or you learn something. You only lose if you didn't win or learn something.
Seems like a win win to me.

I just made a starter pack called All Chess, All the Time. It is composed of people that regularly post, and it is almost entirely chess. I created it for myself so that my entire feed could be chess. If you would like to be added to it let me know.

If everyone would stop talking about who's playing 2D/3D/4D chess in politics, it would be so much easier to search for all the fun #chess accounts, lol

I created a Star Trek Starter Pack based on my interaction with the online Star Trek community over the years.
A Starter Pack is limited to 150 people, so I figured there’s always the opportunity to create additional #StarTrek Starter Packs in the future.
Feel free to share.
