Hello,
I have two queries related to chess, so I will pack them into one post.
(1) At first, I would like to ask if any of you play chess and, particularly, play chess at the Free Internet Chess Server (which is. sadly, currently down due to hackers >:() - so that I can challenge you (and, very very probably, loose ;))
(2) At second, I would like to inquire if you have watched the Marleen Gorris titled The Luzhin Defense with a very nice soundtrack by Alexandre Desplat (the movie is obviously based on an even better novel by Nabokov)
All the best!!!
P.S. I am just about to get a nice chess set (cf. below) for my birthday, so I am a little excited about the prospect of playing the game I have seriously neglected recently ;)

I used to play chess a lot when I was a teenager. I even bought some theory books to study. I regularly defeated my father, my cousin, two uncles and whoever came my way. It's been a very long time since I last played, though, so my skills might be a bit rusty these days. :)
Which is a better option, chess com or lichess?
