    My problem is that there is very limited amount of such people :/ People either don’t or can’t play chess or are really into it.

    And of course there is always this one guy/gal who’s like “Let’s play, you’ll probably beat me because I’m really rookie el oh el. Yeah I’m in local chess club but there are much better players than me. It’s true that this one time I finished second in that chess championship but …”

      There has to be some online chess simulators that match opponents based on skill-level. Playing IRL might be tougher to find, but if you’re in school I would look for chess clubs there.

        Tried one of those once. It just opened Minesweeper for me.

        Lichess and chess.com are the two big ones. Both have a big player base. They both start you out kinda high so you may have to lose a few to find an equal match but that depends on your skill level.

      Oh yeah, that point in an interest where you learn just enough to realize how little you know.
