Playing against the engine really isn't a good idea, because at weaker levels they play weird and strong levels, well, they play like engines! There's no scope for using tactics with them.

@Alex ppl have different lingos its not a big deal

[@Arguing101]

@Alex Imagine thinking "imma" is some type of "disgraceful" rapper lingo when in actuality its an extremely common saying amongst a large portion of the demographics. This is some "OK Boomer" shit right here. People really have to stop looking at language through a grammatical supremacy lens. The faster people realize that there is no actual "correct" way of speaking, the better. Unless you are part of that one institute in England completely dedicated to "perfecting" the grammar of the English language--you're really in no place to talk. And even if you were, you would know that virtually NO ONE speaks the way that they deem "correct," and that it would sound absolutely ridiculous to everyone else. Instead, people should approach language from a linguistic perspective. A perspective that believes that language is an incredibly beautiful cultural and human phenomenon that should be admired and documented. Your comment indicates you have a bias against African American lingo. However, although a lot of their dialects use what many would consider "improper" grammar (based on our arbitrary standard of what is correct), a quick study would show that the usage of such "improper" grammar actually has its own rules within that dialect/community. Its not written down and taught in schools, but the usage of that dialect's grammar is completely understood within that community. AGAIN, these dialects are NOT just a hodgepodge of improper usages of standard English. There are actual RULES. So, I ask this. If that dialect follows a set of rules that everyone understands, what makes it any different from our perception of "proper" English?

All those knights moves allowed him to get a full rook advantage, but at the cost of allowing Morphy full development, and beautifully placed Bishops for an attack on the Kingside. Another game which teaches us the principle of "Try not to move the same piece in the opening".

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

The Barnes Gambit, sadly refuted. When I was in my early forties, I lost 70 pounds in 4 months. Then I took up weightlifting (for toning, not bulk), aerobics, etc. For several years I was probably the fittest mid-forties man in my town. I did a LOT of walking (no running -- why destroy my shins and feet?). However, I suspect Barnes went on a starvation diet, and didn't balance out his weight loss with healthy eating and moderate exercise. Also, I wonder if he was a drinker and/or a smoker. That right there would have made a difference. Sadly, I'm in my mid-sixties now, and my glory days are gone.

[@robertolender2491]

@@davidanderson_surrey_bc Wow! 70 pounds in a few months is quite an impressive feat. I agree the way you did it is definitely the correct way to go - restricting any unfavourable diet elements while still maintaining vitamin/mineral/necessary protein/carb intake and working out. As you said, Barnes lived in another era altogether so it's likely that his diet was not the best. Starvation diets are very harmful, particularly in older individuals.
