Lately, I've been watching a bunch of online chess videos.
No, not the dull, boring how to play chess type of videos but videos of people playing chess.
In particular, a youtube group called Coffee Chess where players play (and give friendly trash talk). I never knew trash talking and conversations while playing was a thing. I've always thought folks were supposed to keep quiet while the players were concentrating. Instead, the players are the ones trying to outdo each other in trash talking.
That matches are fun to watch at Coffee Chess with the board and moves shown on the video. One thing I learned from watching though is despite playing a little online years ago, I'm not that good of a player .
