"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

He did. A shame really, we might have seen a lot more great chess out of him otherwise. He was paranoid and anti-semitic.didnt he go crazy?What the hell
I wonder what Fischer would consider a "terrible chess player"? Compared to him, a lot of people would fit that description, I'm sure. There are female grandmasters, but he's right in that the top players are all men. Not sure why? It may simply be a lack of interest from women, I'm sure there are more men than women interested in playing chess. Or it may have something to do with mathematical thinking, supposedly men's brains are wired better for logic problems and math. Although some say this is a myth - but I'm not sure if that's actually true of if it's some sort of political activism.
Fischer had a rematch with Spassky in 1992 (which he also won) in Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, Fischer broke US laws by participating, because Yugoslavia was under US sanctions. Fischer never returned to the US, and ended his life as an exile in Iceland. A sad end, since he had become such a patriotic hero in the '70s for beating the Russians.

"When you see a good move, stop! Don't make it. Look for a better move."
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
thin line between genius and madness most of us on here know this!

Here's one of my favourite chess games ever. Thsy say this was an old version of Fisher,but it's never confirmed by himself or others.Let's assume it's him...
He plays the bongcloud against a man named Nigel Short who was top 5 or 10 back then. The bongcloud is the equivalent of boxing with your hands down on your back. And he SLAUGHTERED the grandmaster.( old agadmator video, he is MUCH better at making videos now but okay)
