I've never met someone in real life who could beat me, but lots of guys cream me on the Internet.
I'm either playing the best in the world, my peers are dumb, or they cheat

What city do you live in? There's a few chess clubs around the state that meet weekly. I play at the Metairie club on Tuesdays. It's a pretty good group that meets there. I'm rated just under 2100, and we have several players over 1800.

...... But anyway, I like to play chess. Hard to find someone willing to sit down and play casually.

I used to play with a lot of guys from Georgia (south of Russia, not Tennessee) and they always humbled me. Also there were a few Filipino guys that worshiped Chess, Bobby Fisher and Gary Kasperov like I do football, I learned a shite ton from losing to them.
Not knocking my friends or anyone close enough to actually wanna play me locally, but outside of my FIL, I'll just say they boost a very false sense of security. The intrawebz are a good source of legit competition. Not many people in our culture were passed down tricks from several generations like people in some of the shite corners of the world.
