There was a time I saw people playing outside cafes. I'd like to see chess comps here, in the library or elsewhere. Would be fun if they could get sponsorships, etc.
For some reason I woke up and decided to play, have never played before. I've only played two people online so far. One quit and I beat the other on beginner level. Will hopefully gain more confidence and experience over time to play more live games.
Also have spent the day writing to some Ozzie Politicians on what I'd like them to talk about and work on.
