"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.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

didnt he go crazy?What the hell:)!!
He did. A shame really, we might have seen a lot more great chess out of him otherwise. He was paranoid and anti-semitic.

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.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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)
