    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.

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