#1 Welcome to The Chess Gym Newsletter
We are now sending a newsletter from Substack to share information about The Chess Gym to members and interested chess players, who might want to join at some point. This will replace the weekly digest you have received with some generated highlights from the community.
The newsletters will also be shared in the news channel in the community. We will aim to send it out once a week.
Matchmaking for next week
Last week we introduced a matchmaking algorithm to find your optimal opponent for the sparring game based on time availability and rating.
11 matches were announced, and as far as I can see it has worked out great. I was paired with Neil and we played an interesting game yesterday with a great post-mortem on Zoom afterward.
If you are a member and want to get paired for next week fill out the Google form below. I will announce the pairings on Saturday in the scheduling channel.
Master lectures with homework
We are thinking about hosting some online lectures with master players for community members. But before we go any further with this idea, we would like to get an idea of where you think you need an extra workout.
Lichess team
We have also created a Lichess team, so we easier can find each other on Lichess, so remember to join us there too.
Finally, I would also like to share a post Nate wrote in the discussion space on sharing your analysis:
