I just write scholars m8 on my hand

Great advice, but I can't find the m8 square. What should I do next?

[–] Please_Do_Not@lemm.ee 16 points 9 months ago

To find it you must first master b8

Your world vision is too narrow. It is time for you to expand your horizons, move across borders, explore new worlds, new planets, new lives! Start with checkers. Maybe some day your board will be big enough to see the squares you can only dream of.

So... psychedelics?

Maybe, but alcohol works fine. Intellectual research at my local chess club shows that three beers is the optimal amount, massively increasing intuition, without significantly decreasing intelligence. So for beginners I would recommend starting there.
