Learn to play chess and compete in a local tournament.

“After a year of playing online chess i went to local tournament, not fide, just for fun, i lose every game but one on the end where my brain just turned on, it was pretty dificult to play, touching the clock and to try to be aware of my time (5+3), i lose 2 games on time, 2 on bad opening, it was like i just can't see what i was doing, i think online chess it's easier bc of the constant feedback on the app, but man, how i lose 4 games, funnily enough the game that i won was so good man.”

“This was an all-female tournament meant to encourage more women and girls to play chess. But honestly, they should’ve called it an all-girls tournament instead—because about 80% of the players were under 10 years old. The software matched me exclusively against kids, and let me tell you, they were tough.”
