Recently started playing chess again just on line to pass the time during lockdown.

Can anybody recommend any good free apps please.

I'm currently on chess.com getting my ass handed to me by Master Bear.

I struggle with the fragmentation of games on the Internet. If my opponent doesn't make a move for ten hours / two days I've forgotten any strategy I had in place.

Edit: it ended in a draw. I was in a slight jam, tried a series of moves, we ended in the same place, I repeated my moveS and chess.com simply ended the game - drawn. A bit frustrating.

Yeah the numbers are the equivalent of a FIDE rating you’d have in real life. You start at 1100 I think. The top guys are pushing 3000.

Yes not played for about 10 years but a lot of the games were really short 1 min tournament and 5 mins they are a waste of time.

Accept challenge mate

Yes, playing too quickly just teaches you to make mistakes.
