The “battle of preparedness” for grandmasters looks miserable. My experience being bad at chess is pretty cool, though.

If anyone’s looking to pick up chess, it’s a pretty good time to do it even if the people making a living out if it aren’t enjoying it anymore. It used to be that computers would only crush you without helping, but now they’re able to point at your mistakes and show you where the game shifted from one player to the other.
