So if I wanna get into chess, where to start?

@DaveCromer I have a background in various MOBA and RTS games at top level, have played OW to PC GM, play DBD and have a background in Silat, Kenpo and BJJ

@wawabywibwib I have no idea what any of those acronyms stand for lol. And have never heard of Silat or Kenpo for that matter! Will do some googling.

Real time strategy games! Overwatch is a FPS that some moba (the genre LoL / DOTA are) was a sister game or gateway to, DBD is dead by daylight, and my current unhealthy obsession and what I dropped the proper esports for!

I also have a background in various martial arts! Which is also very much about the stuff chess and the esports are, and that is in a broader term, strategy.

Because I am consulting a community full of people who are involved in something I am experiencing interest in! I'm being social and curious. Reaching out for information and perspective.

If that's not really your cup of tea, don't feel pressured! Thanks for your earlier thoughts <3

Peak FPS ranking was low GM hitscan turned zen in OW on pc. Overwatch was also the only FPS I played except exactly 1 match of fortnite and an hour and a half of valorant

I took the other titles much more seriously tho!
