Speaker 3: dot Com app where I can play against people all
Speaker 3: over the world. And I have been playing up to

Speaker 2: so seventeen hours a week, it's something you will enjoy
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: I every bit of spare time in the day I
Speaker 3: will get on the chess app. Bank is starting to
Speaker 3: hate it because I don't do I'm doing way less
Speaker 3: chores around the house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine you do it seventeen hours a week,
Speaker 2: seven days a week. We can all do the maths
Speaker 2: here on the plates and like dust and.
Speaker 1: Everything, every part of up.
Speaker 3: And it's one of those things if you're playing somebody
Speaker 3: live in a different country, you can't stop the game
Speaker 3: because then it's unfair to that person.
Speaker 1: So once I'm interested you played recently, you know it
Speaker 1: might be barrying as well.

Speaker 3: thousand player.
Speaker 2: Right, I found someone same level as you for your
Speaker 2: first game in here tomorrow morning. So last week I
Speaker 2: mentioned this and I got a load of emails from
