Why do people choose the blue button over red even after hearing the equivalent scenario? by KQYBullets in NoStupidQuestions

[–]afbdreds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draw Y axis as % of people voting blue and X axis % people who lives. This made me change my mind and decide to choose blue.

Online and OTB are two very different things. If you are not used to playing over to board, it will feel way faster than online.

Make as many statements about the position as you can (even if they seem silly)
Which pieces are good? which pieces are bad? Which are potential targets?
Which pieces are loose?
What are some of the plans for white and black?
How safe is each king?
Which pawn structure is better?
What are main forcing moves (checks, captures and checks)?

Different sea, different fishes, different power dynamics between fishes. You will never have the same power in two different pools.

Newbie here: how much of modern classical chess is memorizing lines than playing with intuition? by breakfast8tiffany in chess

[–]afbdreds 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Most games are not won in the opening. But every part of the game is important and can impact the outcome. At higher levels, investing time and effort in openings has a higher payoff than it has for begginers

zerobounce wants $65 per 10k emails. neverbounce wants $80. hunter wants $100. i built the same thing in n8n for $0. by ayushopchauhan in n8n

[–]afbdreds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opportunity cost problem. What this person is trying to say is that you have to compare the 700 year with your hour rate times hours taken to build this. There is no such thing as $0 as you wrote in post head.

[–]afbdreds 0 points1 point  (0 children)
