Been a little while since I played, but I used to be half-way decent at Chess. Wouldn't mind a few games here and there to challenge myself some again.

Best method for me: If we can arrange a time, I have Tabletop Simulator on Steam, which comes standard with a chess game. Combine with a discord chat and we can chat and play the night away. Best time for me right now are probably midnight to 4 am US Central time (GMT -6); that's when I get off work and my wife is usually asleep by around 12 or 12:30.

There is also a website called Board Game Arena, which is fairly legit for lots of games, but also Chess. It's a decent way to arrange a game with someone in particular. I think there's a sign-up process, but it's been a while since I was on.

I'm not aware of too many good ways to meet up and play with a specific person outside of that. If someone has a suggestion, I am down for it.

I'm down. I recommend either chess.com (lots of players but the navigation is outdated and confusing) or lichess.org. Both have mobile apps too so that makes it easy.

But you name the time and place and I'll be there - with a little notice of course.

I have used Chess.com in the past, but it was a long time ago.

Lichess.org looked good after a quick glance, I'd be happy to play you sometime. If I see you in the IRC, I'll hit you up then, or message you in a day or two if I don't. Thanks for the offer.

I'll play again if you want. Maybe we could get a tournament going if more people were interested.

Oh yeah, that'd be fun. With enough people, you could arrange a swiss-style system and the move into elimination or something, which could be fun. Even with less people, you could Round Robin and have some fun like that.
