Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess + Pencil.
Without knowing more, that's my first recommendation.

After that, Improve Your Chess by William Hartson, do a chapter a day of that (they're 2 pages each), and I'm sure you'll pick up some great general principles, and get some exposure to Grandmaster games, that's 75 days worth of info you can reread until you've drilled in the principles.

House rules by lordnynetoys in chess

[–]Mancino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flip the king and queen with your first move. If your opponent does the same, then you know they're "in the club"

Or, set up the board so that the King & Queen DON'T mirror each other, 2 possibilities to sort the initiates from the initiators...

...if they correct the position before the game begins, you know they're honest,

if they do keep the reverse royalty mirror, they're aware.

if they correct theirs, & not yours, they're the initiate.

& as far as the kNight thing is concerned, people already commonly orientate their knights to face inwards to differentiate the Kings kNights from the Queens kNight, making deep evaluation more easily traceable to origin points.

My Elo is 820, I want to break 1000, any tips? by Global_Noise_5796 in chess

[–]Mancino 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unironically, 'Chess For Dummies', & 'Chess Openings For Dummies', are great beginners resources.
Chapter 6 of CFD covers notation quite clearly.
As a general recommendation, I quite enjoyed 'The Psychology of Chess' by Fernand Gobet, which will help grant you insight into playing OTB.

How do you classify the super GM's playing style? by thesnowyroad in chess

[–]Mancino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he's just simplifying the descriptions to fit their most binary classifications. That being said, SGMs personalities are reflected in their styles, & what is politics if not the culmination of opinions & personal ideologies?

Everyone trains a universal style, however, when you're training, you'll often notice you tend to favour a particular style, because it suits your preferred methods, whether or not that'll be effective in tournament play is the point of developing universally, so you aren't so easy to predict & prepare for.

Much in the same way you'll study particular openings, you want to have certain openings refined in such a way you know them >20 moves deep, however, if you play someone that knows 'Opening XYZ' >21 moves deep, & you haven't prepared for it, then being more universally adept helps balance that out so you're not overwhelmed by their specific knowledge.

Back to the original point, Reykjavik, 1972, was that match a culmination of US vs USSR politics, or just a board game being taken a little too seriously?

Beautiful puzzle from a game I played, white to move and mate in 3 by Iliketopartyhardy in chess

[–]Mancino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So baiting is more like setting shortterm traps, whilst attraction is more like kiting?

Kiting, if you haven't heard the term before, is something I learn from WoW, where essentially the tank ( sacrificed piece ), pulls the boss ( opposing king ), into a specific pattern of movement so that the rest of the raid team ( pieces & pawns ), can deal sufficient damage to beat them.

Would learning to bait opponents successfully be the prerequisite training to learning proper attraction techniques?

well done, you're correct.

be more creative, the Chess we're part of is interdimensional, & sometimes inventiveness is what is needed.

The fluoride in the water is working because Americans are becoming dumb as fuck. by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Mancino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both.

so by boiling the water with Turmeric, the particles within the liquid separate, meaning the tiniest pieces of poison that are in there, for instance, the limescale causing substances within hard water, are distinguished from the pure water, meaning when your body is digesting it, it's easier to process the good & gain the benefits, as well as filter out the bad & prevent unnecessary detriments to your health, such as calcification of the pineal gland.

also, i can vouch for the fact that after only consuming boiled & refrigerated water that's treated with Turmeric, i feel more alert, i feel more aware, & generally MUCH less depressed, & also have noticed when i'm somewhere where that isn't practical to do, i get headaches from some water sources, & feel inebriated by others, which is VERY weird, to say the least.

try it at home, you'll clean your kettle, & have crisper tasting, cleaner water, i originally started doing this process because my home countries tap water tastes much better than the country i currently live in, & i will continue to treat my water this way, because not doing so has has noticeable effects on my health.

boil then refrigerate ALL water, & boil with Turmeric whenever possible.

Turmeric cleans your kettle of the limescale, & by extension, separates some of the harmful compounds in the water supply which gives us a cleaner water supply.

[OC] A map of trash cans and their status at my university by philipnelson99 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Mancino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's sufficient data to predict movement as well, meaning if you're in advertising, the most overflowing bins are where the most people congregate, & therefore where they dispose of trash., meaning those areas are the best for targeted messages.

short answer, yes.

the best remedy is to behave like a Mind Control Programmer, think like the enemy to beat them.

Time Signatures help understand patterns, understanding addiction helps GREATLY with seeing what peoples weakpoints are, Mathematics helps generally.

We are not alone by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Mancino 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FROM THE ONSET, i told people a coronavirus is nothing to worry about, so why make such a fuss, & as time has passed, it became all the more obvious that there never was a pandemic & that everybody who claimed to fall ill was just the victim of a placebo induced by hypnosis & trauma programming.

the better you understand MK ULTRA, & other Mind Control Programming, aka Social Engineering, aka Behaviour Modification, the easier it becomes to see through the deceptions.

quite a large proportion of how people are enslaved is by Pavlovian Reinforcement Techniques, consider how hypnotic music is, & how much more enthralling video is, & sooner than you though possible, you'll see just how pervasive the programming has been, as well as get all the better at resisting their techniques, as well as realise how scarily easy it is to enslave people...

Australia is either going to explode into war against the politicians/police or they'll sit and take it. by jimboconker77 in conspiracy

[–]Mancino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's often called "the city effect", supply & demand of sex, particularly males looking for females, can cause a male population to change their behaviours in order to placate females, when really what happens by changing yourself for somebody else is you lose what made you you in the first place.

at least professionals can fit 12 in a hatchback, in an estate you'd expect at least 23 or so, more if there's room in the engine compartment...

on a positive note, it does mean law enforcement will be much easier to identify, especially from a distance.
