No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

The last time I played chess it was against a ten year old and I got my ass whooped.
Is there a chess league for babies I could join?
Still too high level for my chess abilities. Is there an amoeba league?
I just wanna put on a pair of boots and stomp around in a room full of helpless babies, is that too much to ask?
You just want to waste food and I'm disappointed in you.
It's not about age, eventually magnus will be beaten by a 5 year old.
Just play a few games online to get your rating settled in and you will quickly start playing against people your skill level. You will likely get stomped a lot early on, but that stops after just a few games with massive elo drops.
I appreciate the tips, but I've long resigned myself to the fact that, like DnD and Warhammer, chess is one of the classic nerd things that I just can't do.
