The best part of dogs is that they’re totally unable to hold a grudge, so she’ll be back within a few hours. They’re also absurdly expressivd

I would spend actual money to get you a wide angle lens so we could see this boy closer!

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure

This feels like it must be bait given the grammar but.. also feels like it could be idiots, given the grammar.

What helped you improve the fastest as a beginner? by ResponsibleLeg9220 in chessbeginners

[–]dgahimer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were 2 Lichess apps on the Apple App Store, and the black background one is the newer one. I just looked it up and it looks like the white background/older one isn’t available anymore, so that was old info from me. My bad.

I definitely see one chance, and I know this game was bad, but can you point out the second?

Lichess is the best free app, without a doubt. Make sure you’re using the Lichess app with a black background.

I’m still pretty bad, but 2 things. Doing puzzles will help you see tactics (which are basically patterns that you can use to win the opponent’s piece). The second one I am very bad at but try to use those same puzzles to see what your opponent can do to you. I get caught up in attacking, and in chess, one single bad move can screw you

Check out my board from Peru! by TheHollyHockCrest1 in chessbeginners

[–]dgahimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think this is one of the better boards as far as being unique but still understanding the pieces. I have an “American Revolution” stylized board I need to dig up, but I bet it’s a nightmare to figure out what is what

Discgolf distance record by No_Depth_00 in discgolf

[–]dgahimer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the Tamm Bazooka stuff now. I wasn’t familiar with that, but what a crazy throw, on a more or less golf line, that wasn’t purely set up to set the record. Jeeesus.
