I was a decent/good player aged 10. Used to win the inter-school comps and won a prize** in the Liverpool Chess Congress 1957.
**think the prize was a badge^_^.
Then I started playing against real players......the sort that sit and think/plan every move........I lost interest at that point.
A mate of mine goes on line and has several games going at the same time. Would drive me nuts.

I think this more than lockdown has contributed to the 'surge' as mentioned upthread.

A good watch!

Also the Bobby Fisher film Pawn Sacrifice on Netflix is an excellent watch.

We have just watched the whole Breaking Bad series plus the El Camino film, but I think taking up Crystal Meth production might be a step too far.

I played online with my partner during the first lockdown. I usually beat her. But she's started to get better and I've got worse. I find it fairly easy to make defensive moves and take other pieces but i can't get checkmate for toffee. When i don't have success in something, i usually give up
