The are you good at chess question.

I'd say ''not bad'' to remain humble and maybe hustle some money out of em. But the real answer would be yes I am good. Very few chess players in my region, and I am literally better than at least 99.995% of the people around here. Also, many people, when you ask them if they are good at chess they reply with: yes! I used to play when I was a kid, I went to a tournament and everything! But then you proceed to crush em blindfolded ten games in a row. I think anyone above 1400 is good for sure.

Will that prove "how good I am" or "how bad I am"?

There's another question, when you close your eyes do you visualize the board 2 or 3D?

Always 3D for me.

Strong words were spoken in here. Strong words indeed.

I'm unbelievable at chess. That seems to cover all the bases.

I say that depends because chess skills are relative. Against the "well I know how to play" crowed I'm like Bobby Fischer. Against real chess players I can barely be called a beginner.

Usually the question comes from a non-player in a pub or at a party.
I've no time for them. I just reply I play a bit and then go a find a
chess player of any level and talk to them.
