chesscom, its the go-to for online chess. you can set up a free or premium account, and there are lots of both free and premium resources -- find coaches/IRL leagues, run their explorer, train on openings, its quite good. IMHO the premium is well worth it for $18/mo, but I play almost every day and make use of their robust guide to understanding openings (i also really enjoy the puzzles).

the duo lingo add-on for premium really sucks though, just a heads up.

Won by timeout in the sloppiest weirdest game of wtf just happened Ive played in a while. I need a cigarette. If this had been I shag I'd have been properly rogered.

This was sloppy and brutal and the only reason I scraped by was slightly better time management. But that's the fun thing about rapid chess; you're not just playing an opponent, you're playing a clock.

5 minutes of this and I have enough adrenaline pumping for the rest of the morning, no caffeine necessary.
