Any of you guys seriously play Chess?

As the title says, any serious Chess players here?

I've always been interested in chess and shogi, but have never invested significant time.

I have on and off phases, but I played often as a kid.

serious? Nah.

Hmm. The reason I ask is so far I've never really studied Chess much but I'm going to start going over some annotated grandmaster games and was wondering if anyone had done that before. I'm basically looking for advice on how to get the most out of that process.

You looking to get good?

Yea. I'd like to hit expert level.
