I play phone apps to pass the time. Don't think phone chess will help in that aspect.
Yeah man no sweat. I actually played chess in middle school got a little bs participation certificate.
Chess is an amazing game

Anyway this is usually how I like to play:
WHITE
- 9/10 times I'll open with the queen's pawn to d4 (rarely play king pawn openings or other)
- if they counter with queen's pawn to d5, i'll offer to play queen's gambit
- if they counter with knight to f6, i like to be aggressive and play the trompowsky attack, which basically brings by bishop to g5, threatening that knight, then if I capture and assume my bishop gets captured i can control the middle with my king's pawn as well, giving me situational advantage
- if they counter with a king/queen pawn moving one step, i'll bring the king's pawn to e4, controlling the centre, and then bring the knights out early to protect them
BLACK
- if they open with queen's pawn, i like to play an indian defense most frequently, which looks like this:
here my dark squared bishop (g7) controls the entire diagonal with 3 pawn protection and then I usually castle on the next move. it's quite hard to break down.
- still wanna figure out an effective counter to king's pawn openings vs white but if they open king pawn it's less effective anyway so it gives me a better chance

fukk chess lol. My aunt taught me when I was young but I had nobody to play with so lost my skills. Started playing a friend of mine from work and was slaughtering him so he quit playing. Then my homegirl's son wanted to play. Killed me three straight games and I gave that shyt up.
As far as strategy I usually tailor it to whoever I'm playing against. If I see they're too aggressive I'll sit back and set traps. If they're defensive I'll be more aggressive in setting up my own attacks knowing they won't take advantage.

in the pawn point system, bishops and knights are of equal value (3 points = worth 3 pawns)
million dollar question is which is the better piece, but I actually prefer the bishops, because though they aren't as versatile in movement as knights, they can control longer stretches of the board
"Searching For Bobby Fischer."
I like the bishops bcuz most ppl not expecting a quick diagonal movement..they try to be "smart" and see l shapes from the horses and try to headhunt the king when really the bytch got the power
i used to be the type that would purposely lose 2 games just to see how you play then blitz you within 10 mins or less
now i just play the long game where i wait it out, the one where shyt is timed doesn't give me enough breathing room

I don't like time-pressured games at all
I need the time to think, especially since my checkmate game is so trash I need double the time to ensure I don't fukk it up and cause a stalemate or worse yet somehow lose from my advantageous position
I remember playing this one random, I was in heavy control of the match...checkmate imminent.
I probably coulda mated in 6 or 7 moves but it was already move 10 and I hadn't done it....dude looked at me like
just get on with it already...in my mind I was thinking "I didn't know how"
but wanted to play it off like I was just torturing himended up making a dumb move and his only piece being a king he couldn't move anywhere and wasn't in check....stalemate
I was so mad
guy was like
all at the same time

White always moves first
Considering some of the ppl I learned from were institutionalized af sometimes I would just lose on purpose to get away from they fruitcake ass lol. My joke used to be if I got checkmate or took queen to scream "I fukked yo bytch (pac voice)
