It feels like a golden age to be learning chess right now. There's just infinite good content on YouTube (St Louis Chess Club, Atlanta Chess Club, Chess24 etc) and various apps (lichess, Chessable, Chess Tempo etc). Plus you can get a decent sized database (e.g. http://caissabase.co.uk/ http://caissabase.co.uk/) and cutting edge engine for your own study for absolutely free. Really hoping when the pandemic is over this leads to a boost for actual chess clubs and isn't just an online phenomenon.
- noir_lord 6y agoHey, That's my project (caissabase). Small world, thanks for mentioning it :).
- thom 6y agoWoot, and I completely missed that you did a new release over the weekend! Thanks for all the good work!
- noir_lord 6y agoAye, Saturday - now that my life has settled down I'm going to aim for once a quarter (I always announce them on twitter @caissabase ) but there will be another before Xmas because someone sent me a bunch of TWICS I was missing so once I've cleaned/de-duped those probably.
- georgeoliver 6y agoI'm a happy caissabase-ist! Thanks for maintaining.
- noir_lord 6y ago:) I'm just glad people actually use it, I do it for myself anyway but it's nice to know that others get some benefit out of it as well.
