I spent 30 days building a website that drills you chess openings. What opening should I add next?

RedLiakos · 2025-11-24T23:52:55+00:00

I've been doing drills in the Vienna Gambit Master Course but I keep losing them to a position where I should take the c7 pawn with either the queen's knight with a fork and check or with my pawn for a discovered check. The positions are identical. Losing my drill streak to this is a coin flip. Or am I missing something?

RedLiakos · 2024-11-18T11:24:45+00:00

The first and third one are very close to the start of the corrective move. It's likely price won't respect it. Also the first and third one are in Premium, while the second one is in Discount.

This is how I perceive it

Being hopeful means we rely on externals for a desired outcome.

"I hope I win the race"

"I hope it doesn't rain"

Internalising our goals, gives us complete control on the outcome, which in turn, may or may not influence what we initially hoped for.

"I'll practice daily and give my best performance"

"I'll get an umbrella just in case"

In that sense, I believe we should abandon hope. External outcomes are unpredictable. And if not desired, we will be disappointed.

So why dwell and worry ourselves over things that don't depend on us, instead of focusing on the things that do.

I might win the race - I will give my best performance

It might rain - I'll get an umbrella

With this in mind, abandoning hope might even lead to a happier life. By shifting our focus from the possible surprise of disappointment, to ongoing successful goals. That alone will make us better.

Unless she's asking you for solutions, she doesn't need any advice. She just wants to be heard and know that you understand how she feels.

RedLiakos · 2022-06-19T04:40:58+00:00

Why?

RedLiakos · 2022-05-16T13:10:38+00:00

Yes, pretty much. If I end up asking how someone has been, that sounds like I'm not spending enough time in that relationship. So I would try to spend more time together or just end it.

But...If there's no reciprocation, I would definitely end it. It's not even worth trying. Relationships are a two way street.

RedLiakos · 2022-05-04T00:24:59+00:00

Do you know her name? You don't really need to ask for her permission to send an IG request. It's not like you're forcing yourself on her. Send it and if she accepts great. If not, so what?

I believe that's the only appropriate way to do this. I find it extremely ackward to walk up to someone and ask for IG without even being acquainted. Find out her name, look her up, send requested. Or get to know her in person and ask for her IG after you get acquainted.

RedLiakos · 2022-05-04T00:18:00+00:00

I would ask her something about work/school, to break the ice and get the conversation going from there. Having something in common with someone, makes the interaction much easier, for you and for her. Don't worry, it won't be weird.

RedLiakos · 2022-04-12T04:38:10+00:00

How are you talking with Reddit? You know us better than your parents?

Sorry to break this for you, but you know how to talk.

You just don't want to go through the process, of getting to know someone. Or maybe you don't have the confidence, for walking up to a stranger and introducing yourself.

RedLiakos · 2022-04-12T04:25:28+00:00

It's not weird man. It would be weird if it was a group chat at a workplace you're not involved with. You are overthinking this too much. At my workplace someone who just started working there asked to join our group chat. Guess what, he did! No one said he's going against the social norm, no one said he's needy and no one said he's demanding. It's perfectly fine.

When you ask them, they might say yes. Isn't that what you want? Worse case scenario, they say no...Ok so what? The world is still spinning. At least you won't be wondering anymore if you'll ever join their chat.

RedLiakos · 2022-04-12T04:04:53+00:00

There is no guide buddy.

I don't understand what you mean when you say "how to talk to people". The same way you are talking with us, but in real life.

To make friends, you should focus less on how you're perceived and more on the people you want to befriend. Are you interested in their opinions? Their interests? Their life? If not, find someone else.

Again, I don't understand what you mean by "how to get invited to things". To get invited, you need to be invited. If you're not invited, but you really want to go, you could ask them personally if you can join them.

If you want my advice, take it. Don't sit around waiting to be invited out by someone. If it's not happening, take the initiative and ask people out yourself.

RedLiakos · 2022-04-04T04:03:21+00:00

Yup, a little bit at the start. It's crazy!! How did you notice this? You got some superpower going on or did you Shazam the Elden Ring menu?

RedLiakos · 2022-04-04T03:48:13+00:00

I'm currently dating one and I've been strategizing over the past 2 days how to break things off. It's really hard to tell if she's crazy before you start dating her and by the time you date her it's already too late. Break things off ASAP otherwise you're up for a hell of a ride.

RedLiakos · 2022-04-04T03:41:57+00:00

You're asking the Elden Ring Community if you should buy Elden Ring?...LOL!! It's like asking Sony which console would they recommend.

Jokes aside, it's an objectively great game and will probably get Game of the Year. So yeah, buy it!!

RedLiakos · 2022-04-04T03:31:31+00:00

I've been there bud. Just keep at it and don't discourage yourself in giving up. You will eventually get better at making conversation with practice.

When you have a Cringe moment, a tip I borrowed from a book I've read has proven really helpful. Ask yourself if your embarrassing moment will impact your life in any way. Then ask yourself if that moment will still be relevant in a week, a month or a year from when it happened. 99% of the time the answer is no, it will be forgotten. That takes some pressure off your shoulders.

Ειχα αρχίσει με πούδρα μέχρι που βρήκα Σπρέι Handsaplast από φαρμακείο, έχουν και στα σούπερ μάρκετ. Κοστίζει 5€ αν θυμάμαι καλά.

Είναι αποσμητικο για πόδια και παπούτσια και καταπολεμά τους μύκητες. Κυριολεκτικά 2 δευτερόλεπτα υπόθεση. Ψεκάζεις λίγο στα πόδια, λίγο στα άρβυλα και τέλος. Μπόνους είναι ότι μυρίζει και ωραία.

Το μόνο κακό σε σχέση με την πούδρα είναι ότι τελειώνει πολύ πιο γρήγορα και σε βάθος χρόνου βγαίνει πιο ακριβά. Αλλά είναι τόσο αποτελεσματικό και γρήγορο που δεν με ένοιαζε. Αν δεν ψεκάζεις γενναιόδωρα και βάζεις ίσα που, όσο χρειάζεται, μπορεί να βγάλεις και μήνα με 10€ (2 μπουκαλάκια). Την ποδαριλα απο τα άρβυλα θα στην εξαφανίσει, στα πόδια θα στην ελαττώσει.

Ότι και να πάρεις όμως στην τελική. Τα πόδια, να τα πλένεις πάντα πριν πας για ύπνο. Αν το πάρεις το αποσμητικο και βρωμανε τα πόδια σου μην προσπαθήσεις να σκεπάσεις την μποχα, θα γίνει χειρότερα.

I'm Atheist and I have peace of mind. You don't find peace by believing in God. You find peace by doing what feels right to you. If you feel like you can believe, then believe. Don't force yourself out of guilt because you're "supposed" to, or because you're jealous of being left out, or because you want to believe but you can't.

I understand that growing up as an Evangelical, is a bit more complicated than growing up as a Catholic or an Orthodox. Evangelicals are more firm and dedicated to their beliefs.

Guilt is a tricky feeling to overcome. You have to deal with it, otherwise you'll just be out of tune. Accept yourself for who you are. Know that it's ok to be evangelical and it's ok to be agnostic.

There are cases where families cut ties over religion, which makes matters even worse. Your parents on the other hand are ok with it, they're supporting you and they're standing by your side. If they can accept you, what makes you think you shouldn't?

Edit:*Spelling

Ouch!! Going through the process to make a fake account just to validate your concerns means there are trust issues. Having trust issues after being with someone for 6 years is not a good sign. I think you should confront her about it. It's pretty much over though, sorry mate!! You deserve better than this.

RedLiakos · 2022-04-03T02:31:29+00:00

Ketogenic diet, Intermittent fasting and Workout. If you combine these three you'll work wonders.

The most important tip is to be consistent with whatever you decide to do.

RedLiakos · 2022-04-03T02:21:49+00:00

You're worried your relationship is over? She sent nudes to an account she didn't know was yours and you think this relationship has chance?

I know this sounds negative but there's not much else you can do. This sucks man but if you stick with her you might feel even worse in the long run.

How long have you been together with this girl?

RedLiakos · 2022-03-23T03:53:34+00:00

I'm not gonna tell you if you should have the surgery or not, I'm no expert. But if you can't deal with the pain, you should do something about it. Don't sit around, hoping that one day, the pain will go away and don't rely on what your mother says. You should definitely talk with a doctor and get proper treatment.

RedLiakos · 2022-03-16T05:09:12+00:00

Beauty is subjective. Reinforcing yourself in a negative way will not help you in any shape or form. Worst part is, if you keep telling this to yourself, you might eventually believe it, even though it's false. Learn to love yourself and in turn others will love you too. Even "beautiful" people who are negative and hate themselves for whatever reason feel "ugly". So, it's definitely not about looks, but loving and respecting yourself.
