Do LW people care about chess / checkers / Go / etc. skill or is it a kindergarten-level brag?
In general, how many LW people play chess or other sequential games with perfect information? React with googly eyes (👀) if you play chess / checkers / Go / etc.
(Personally, I'm 2350+ in bullet - normal chess - and 2100+ in Crazyhouse on Lichess. On a good week.)
Also, while we are at it, are you interested in those games? I'm absolutely fascinated by chess because it's like a mathematical problem, yet it's filled with semantics. I.e. it's very similar to the real world and a lot of things make intuitive or aesthetic sense.
