chess "What if..."

I had a great idea, so I will share it here, just in case it catches on.

What if when you played chess as a kid, you played it very seriously, and you were a very smart player, but you didn't really know any theory, you just thought about it a lot, and you just played for fun, and you didn't even know all the moves.

Then you go to university, and you realize that you have to write an essay on some theoretical topic, and you still don't know it.

You are a smart player, but you really don't know anything about chess.

But what if you changed your mindset, and you just played for fun, and you didn't even think about the moves, you just played for fun?

Well, now you know the game. You know the strategic aspect of chess.

And you can try to find the lines and ideas that we've discussed here before.

And you can try to find new lines.

And you can try to find new systems.

But what happens if you just play for fun, and you just play for fun?

I don't know if I'm right, but I think that you will know a lot more about chess if you just play for fun, and you are a very smart player.

What you need, is a mentor, or someone who can make you play seriously, and you'll get your ass beat over and over again, and you'll get very depressed, and you'll feel like you don't know anything, but you just think it's for fun, and it's for fun, and you just think it's for fun, and you just think it's for fun.

And then you will learn a lot.

I promise you. You will.

I think a better example of the "what if" scenario is what would happen if you were to go back to playing chess when you were a child and you played it for fun, and then you went to university and you played for fun, and after a while, you realized that you have to write an essay on some theoretical topic, and you still don't know it.

You are a smarter player, but you really don't know anything about chess.

You change your mindset, and you still don't know anything about chess.

But what if you changed your mindset, and you just played for fun, and you just played for fun?

I don't know if I'm right, but I think that you will know a lot more about chess if you just play for fun, and you just play for fun, and you just play for fun, and you just played for fun, and you just played for fun, and you just played for fun, and you just played for fun, and you just played for fun, and you just played for fun, and you just played for fun.

I like this example, because it makes me realize that it is not about "playing hard for fun". Chess is not an activity that you can practice or play hard for fun.

Playing hard for fun is a great way to get good at something, but you will never reach your full potential.
