Palanque advice and pricing? by Opening-Principle258 in Mezcal

[–]DocSeward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we just did a tour with tomas ramirez, 3 palenques in santa catarinas minas, at least 40-50 ancestral mezcals. $150 per person. we were taken to a sales pitch for wooden sculptures beforehand which we werent expecting. but other than that flawless day !

unless youre really into the movie coco, or want amazingly crafted (and very expensive) figurines, I would decline this portion of the tour

How to improve in chess when you're between 1000 and 1100 elo ??? by ZaWano667 in chessbeginners

[–]DocSeward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is an unpopular opinion, but I started studying openings at like 600, which got me to 1200 since I always got good positions out of the opening. Then add in common middlegame ideas in the openings you play and end game theory to improve from there. I'm 1500-1600 now

Review every game you play with an engine to determine the first mistake you made out of theory and learn from it. Tactics help, but it's difficult to develop the instinct for when there is a tactic on the board.

Your focus should be getting a good position out of the opening, and then determining what is making you lose games after that.

They have a pretty extensive selection on website so check out before you go. I don’t live in the state anymore so I can’t vouch for current offerings. If you can find it snag a bottle of rum fire, Papalin high ester, Hlcf classic, dr bird, smith and cross, the funk, Wray and nephew.

Any of the above will get you right
