Hi and Ciao tutti
I am new to the forum and would like to introduce myself. I learned chess from my father when I was about 9 or 10. We kept playing one or two games per week, but I lost interest after half a year or so. That was it with my chess career.
And then came "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix, paired with the pandemia. Fascinated by Beth Harmon, I downloaded the App from chess.com, registered and started playing. I love playing those bots. Meanwhile I win 1 out of 4 games against the 1200 rated bots, and scratch the 1000 rating at solving puzzles.
My favourite playing device so far is my Boox Air (see attached foto), an eBook reader and pen-based note taker, featuring Android 10. Means that you can run Lichess or chess.com Apps natively, play outside in the sun, hold the lightweight device with ease and comfort - much better suited than a power hungry, heavy and overheating-in-the-sun tablet.
Now I am considering to get a Certabo device. The boards and the whole ecosystem are indeed very impressing. However, I still have a lot of open questions. Please see a separate post in the main sub-forum - maybe you can help me with one or another answer.
Otherwise, I live near Bern (Switzerland), drive a bus, love cooking, play golf occasionally, and take my camera out once in a while.
