What chess books would you recommend that I read next?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I have an 1100 rating in chess and want to improve

I have no idea what my own rating is, I've signed up at Chess.com and have been playing some of the bots over the last couple of days.
I find I can beat the 1000 to 1300 bots pretty reliably - Those in the 1500/1600/1700 range are more of a challenge.
Tried against a 2500 and got soundly thumped.

Levi "GothamChess" Rozman has a great book for the current generation:
Here's his great YouTube Channel:
Here's his great YouTube Channel:
"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.
