Organise a short chess afternoon with room for complete beginners

Ivan Kramer

I am comfortable with the basics with endgame practice. I would like this to fit everyday life: I rely on public transport for most outings. I would welcome a useful beginner resource.

I am a regular amateur with endgame practice. Would people need to explain why they leave early?

Ivan Kramer

No. Agreeing a plan should not require explaining private circumstances. We can make arrivals and departures straightforward. One thing I should say upfront: I rely on public transport for most outings.

I might just watch the first time. I do not want an invitation that turns into pressure once I arrive. I cannot ignore the fact that I cannot commit to every week.

I do not need everyone to choose the same version. With endgame practice, I am comfortable with the basics. Then watching needs to remain an option throughout. I should make the invitation match that, rather than say it only to get someone through the door.

I would also like to organise a short chess afternoon with room for complete beginners. For me, I cannot commit to every week.

My own aim is to organise a short chess afternoon with room for complete beginners. Which part of your plan could we compare without assuming they are the same activity?

I would protect the time together in “Organise a short chess afternoon with room for complete beginners”. The exact result matters less to me than an arrangement people can enjoy without pressure.

I would join the conversation again when the practical details are clearer. No promises beyond that yet. I would also like to organise a short chess afternoon with room for complete beginners.

For this wish, 서영 홍: That is enough. I can come back with a clearer arrangement and let people decide then, rather than treat interest as attendance. The help I would value is a useful beginner resource.
