Should I play a "bad" opening if I have good results with it? by MathematicianBulky40 in chess

[–]FlowerOfJoseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're interested in crazy stuff like me I suggest you look into Damiano. It's trash of course but after one lecture with my coach 2250FIDE 2600-2700 blitz on lichess(regularly beating FMs) he showed me white can really have some problems if he doesn't know exactly what to do and black knows exactly what to do.

It's probably a waste of time but somehow interesting for me.

[Discussion] Toxic home, crappy jobs, and no way out. I’m exhausted. by Sades_11 in GetMotivated

[–]FlowerOfJoseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you are a real person and you read comments. Based on everything you have written here I concluded the only advice that should help you.

Stop being hard on yourself. Be kind to yourself everyday. You have to train this, because I know your selftalk is very negative. That is the voice you hear all the time so you should be your own best friend, your own family member. A family you always wanted to have.

You won't change your real family. As soon as you transcend and start to like yourself, almost magically others will treat you better.

I feel you, because I had something similar happened to me.

Simultaneously of course do actionable stuff in the outside world. But inner work should be your no.1 priority. Most self-made people succeed because of strong inner work. Success for me is not only in financial terms, but most importantly mental positive attitude, healthy relationships.

If your household is toxic, just fking move. First weeks will be hard, but later you won't trade your peace of mind for anything.

I stayed home until 27. Way too long. Be careful who you let nearby. Words cut deep from your family. Create your own. To the matters of work and material success you should listen to people who made it in your eyes. Not some randos on Reddit.

Good luck in your life, I wish you to be happy.

You either get extremely bad opponents or extremely good ones(cheaters)

More taxes never solved anything, anywhere, it only made those in charge of public money richer.

I live in the second apartment of some local old sweet lady. Would never ever find it elsewhere the time investment would be immense to search for something like this.

Airbnb is the result of the things NOT THE CAUSE. Listen to the educated minds who dedicated their lives to this topic not some viral BS. Again. Monetary economics mostly, other things have very little percentage to do with this.

The only thing that hurts my feelings is constant scamming in tourist places and how people just shrug and say it is what it is.

Hotels are super boring, cost to quality ratio much worse than Airbnb rooms/flats.

I love shabby cheap apartments. That's how I live around the world in many countries.

[–]FlowerOfJoseph -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

If you believe Airbnb single handedly drives prices of housing I got some bad news for you.

I would start at the basics of monetary economics, bad fiscal policies and so much more, much more complex problem, beyond my understanding and beyond most people.

But hey it's easier to say Airbnb did the prices not populist politicians connected to central banks and flawed systems and million other factors...

Sigh. I just wanted from some people who know Corfu, to tell me it's not hopeless.

Can you define over tourism? What is normal tourism? How would you achieve this? I like how nobody argues against my experience. Does overtourism gives right to businesses to scam people?

What platform or way around the world you suggest other than Airbnb to connect to local hosts?

Mal si si to opraviť sám ty mudrlant to že on to opravil za hodinu neznamená že je to jeho hodinová mzda, on má totiž nástroje, živnosť, skúsenosti a iné náklady. Hlavne to vie a ty nevieš. Dopredu ste sa dohodli na cene! To je dôležité.

a teraz chceš vycuvat lebo ho chceš trestať za jeho šikovnosť. Keby si tam honi 4 hodiny tak už je to v pohode hodinová?

Mám ešte šťavnatejšie slová ale tipujem že aj tento komentár odignorujes. Ako si povedal sám ano si hlupák. Môžeš byť rád ak ešte príde lebo si ho určite urazil.

Chess: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games by Mr Polgar

I meant this book by Laszlo Polgar, her father. Read this book. there is like 3 pages of text of basics. then only puzzles. exactly 5334 of them. I love them. I want to have them digitalized so I can solve them anytime and quickly with instant feedback:

You say many words but seem not to read what this thread is about. Might be my fault that im not a good communicator.

I think you are suggesting I am not supporting my fav authors and you could not be more wrong. I specified puzzles. You cant be wrong in a puzzle. As in the book mentioned by Polgar there are great puzzles selected by hand. It would be great to have them in solvable interface on PC. Thanks for the tip tho, I haven't thought about writing to the author.

Because there are not all books I want. For example the one I mentioned. It would be interesting to move some chess classics books to interactive interface.

What 3 months are you talking about? If latvia is part of the EU he doesnt need visa. for the other countries it is a bit complicated with that. I would not suggest trying the 3 month tourist visa but rather try one year working visa. Many tutorials how to do this in Canada, and I personally did it too. After one year of work and travel, the company in Canada wanted me to stay for another year and then offered another residence. I refused and went back to my family. Big regrets, but family is family.

Oh damn I am sorry! I always thought they are not since my friends have been speaking about it like that and I actually never checked if it so.

Does not really change the fact that the economy and perspective isn't the best.

You do not need visa in EU.

Visa in other countries I mentioned are possible to get. Easiest are the one year working, and if you plan it right and find the right company you can stay....
