• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I’m admittedly slow to the draw on new/popular Netflix series, but has anyone seen this?

My wife (no pics) and I just started it and it’s really good. I don’t know the first thing about chess and now I’m looking for beginners books.

Any other tips for good series?

Find a service to play online and I'll play you if you want.

Don't know what you are into and Netflix should probably be one of those services we all disconnect from (I still watch but today was pretty eye opening).

Turn (Washington's spies) is good.

Let me dip my toe into the game for a bit and then I would love to play!
I agree with you on Netflix. I need to cut the cord.
Did you graduate from tOSU?

No. I told them and their PC culture to suck my dick. I hated everything about OSU besides the football culture and that's dead to me after BLM.

Ohio U was practically Bannon's War Room compared to my time @ OSU. If you know anything about OU that's fucking terrifying.

Made dean's list @ OU... LMFAO because my whole time there was essentially one big Palmer fest.

Don't try to learn the game like they show in QG. Learn how to play your pawns effectively then go deeper IMO.
