I've been playing a lot of chess lately. {{< tess >}} and I have been watching
[Slow Horses][slow-horses] on Apple TV+, and there was a recent episode in which
a chess game between two characters is a key plot beat. That got me thinking
about playing again.

I learned chess as a kid. My dad taught me. I played in chess clubs in
elementary and middle school. I was really into it for a while!

I have a [Chess.com](chess.com) account now: [erynrwells][chess-com-profile].
I'm also on [lichess.org](lichess.org): I'm [erynrwells][lichess-profile] there too.
Send me a friend request or challenge? :)
