Yeah, absolutely.

So I learned, I didn't know how the pieces moved and I learned like starting from there from scratch in early 2021.

I can't remember exactly when, but it was after I watched the Queen's Gambit on Netflix, which at this point is kind of tale as old as time for a lot of adult improvers.

And I started my chess.com account in April of 2021.

I got bit by the chess bug.

Yeah, exactly.
