I’ve been playing a lot of chess lately. Tess and I have been watching Slow Horses on Apple TV+, and there was a recent episode in which a chess game between two characters is a key plot beat. That got me thinking about playing again.

I learned chess as a kid. My dad taught me. I played in chess clubs in elementary and middle school. I was really into it for a while!

I have a Chess.com account now: erynrwells. I’m also on lichess.org: I’m erynrwells there too. Send me a friend request or challenge? :)
