I haven’t had a lot of time to do much console gaming lately but I still would love to have a “go to” mobile game that I can whip out and progress a few levels or grind a few items or knock out a battle or match or two.

Interested to know what games have grabbed you and held your attention lately?

I've heard of Lichess and have seen it recommended several times around here! I just downloaded it. I wish I was a better chess-player...I tend to do the same things over and over again and struggle with really "progressing" beyond basic moves/openers...I always end up getting crushed pretty early on.

There's a puzzle mode that I would check out. Using that to practise helps you to improve your perception.

Chess is a lot about learning. I would recommend looking at some strong or unusual openings. You can also try to play against the AI at level 2-3. It can be relatively unforgiving, but also isn't too hard and can get you a few moments of success and happiness. :)

Chess YouTubers like Eric Rosen and Chess vibes are nice. GothamChess is also popular.

Lastly, if you play online, create an account and use it. If you play anonymous you'll likely meet a cheater and also your ELO won't be adjusted. Playing in an ELO that suits you helps you to find opponents who aren't gonna make for a one-sided game.
