HE SAID NO JUMPER🗣️

I dunno, can't see them in a bookshelf. He didn't say anything about making reading cool, just books. "If they don't have books, don't fuck them."

I don't think digital versions count, at least not for John.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 19 hours ago

I guess they don't for me, either, because when I read or listen to a book and really, really like it, I buy a physical copy.

This is perfect for me as I have a lot of chess books that I never read

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 3 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Playing chess against people who have read chess books is the worst... you make one move and they go "ah.. the Toledo-Salamanca opening, I can checkmate in 34 moves."

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

That opening is worth about a million bucks.

I find it's best to play ridiculous moves then that don't show up in any books, you may end up in a strategically worse position but they have to work for their win now instead of just doing memorised plays. It's better to burn out, than to fade away!

Heterodox style. It's the only fun way to play left

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

But that is my favorite way to play chess!

I just haven't actually read any books and an making up the names of moves. I hope my wife hasn't caught on (she caught on the first time didn't she)

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 1 points 20 hours ago

I have yet to experience that even when playing against a fide master, but talking at the board is bad form. They do however know their way in the opening and it usually ends in disaster sooner or later

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

True, but I imagine a well-organized Calibre library will flood most basements, genitally speaking.

just virtual sex for you.
