I've been playing chess lately

These easy to join ranked online games are my weakness.

I'm quite bad at it still but improved a bit over the past couple of weeks. Now I've managed to reach a point where everyone knows a bunch of cheap tricks. Every game starts with trying a quick checkmate with their queen and bishop and if they can't do that they try to do that thing with the knight where they check and then take the rook.

But otherwise, unlike other games, I don't mind losing too much. If someone beats me in a clever way it's interesting to see how they did it. That's a nicer feeling than raging at the game mechanics or at my teammates or something.
