Are you on chess.com or lichess? If yes, what is your username and rating?
I’m rated around 1,600-1,800 on lichess but haven’t played in a while.
Few months after, I find myself playing on chess.com highest rating I achieved was 1,200 (I think they rate differently).

Reminderz:
In chess, you win, lose or stalemate. Everything will not always go in your favour... But ludo and card games are simply the game of luck, not chess... Why would I always hope to get a 6 everytime I roll the die..? The outcome sometimes is even dependent on which angle the die is bent more... Ludo is a game of luck not wits, and if you always depend on luck in life, you'll lose because someday, your luck will run out....
Strategic thinking can be applied to a probabilistic outcomes. If you play chess and understand probability, you will have the upper hand again ludo players who don’t play chess even if you have never played ludo before.

And most people who play Ludo are simply math-lazy, they don’t understand probability.

the game of chess was modelled on the people and office that has power during the middle ages and the intrigues of court life,the bishop,knight,king,queen,pawn,rook,all have their roles and limitations,,it is not a coincidence that the king cannot be killed,God has made man the head of the family before heaven and earth,he can only be checkmate
I understand you, but the right word you should be using is REMODELED.
The KING, QUEEN, KNIGHT, BISHOP etc, is just a European interpretation of the moving pieces. Meanwhile chess has been played for thousands of years before it came to Europe through Persia.

Your highlighted comments is a very wrong way to think about chess or life:
firstly, stop saying that pieces are killed, but say they are captured; because in real life a lot of things can happen to your piece to make them unable to compete in your efforts, admittedly, being killed is on of these things but there are so many more possibilities. So pieces are captured is better.

Secondly kings do get captured (or killed), and yes by pawns, both in real life and on the board.

1. King Richard of England was killed by a French soldier whose job was actually to cook food for the fighting men ( real life). And his soldiers of different ranks retreated back to England. And guess what, his queen was also alive too.

2. Below is a example of pawns checkmating a king.
I have won countless similar endgame myself.

Don’t use chess to uplift your manly ego, or you will suffer ignoble disappointments.


By the way, do you play online? What is your fide rating?

Chess is overly hyped honestly. I used to think that Chess is a game for smartest people not untill I came accross GO. If you're a chess player, tru Playing GO for once, then you'll know that Chess is a kid game. Infact learning GO self , it's a task that only the brave and the determined mind can scale through.
Good man!

okoroemeka:
yes it is true with two reasons,(1) the queen is most powerful and can move anywhere without restrictions (2)the queen can be killed by a mere pawn but the king cannot be killed but checkmated,this two realities are the sad truth about women
Do not genderize the beautiful game of chess by your simplistic outlook on life.

All the pieces on the board are not actuality, they are a representation of abstract ideals.

Bringing chess into real life scenarios is incredibly more difficult than playing it on a board, but that is what everyone hope to do; learn on the board and play it in real life.
The moment you start thinking that you’re the king, your queen is your wife… checkmate!

Life is more mysterious than chess.

Where is the 64 pieces?

Who told you elite don't play ludo, ayo and checkers?

This exactly the way western worlds wants us to be thinking. The mental slavery form.
Chess is not the invention of western world, and does not belong to them.
Your inference about it being a western thing and those who see it boundless cognitive superiority are mentally enslaved makes you seem really, really dull.

Hello bro,
Is the possible for a bullish wave to continue uptrend after wave five ? Because I’m seeing some on here where the 5th wave retrace about 50% fibo and then picked up an upward drive?

You may not appreciate this now but you will some time later in your trading journey: All indicators are lagging! They are of no use to you once you have developed a trained eye which now has helped you identify an edge which is reproducible frequently. Learning about indicators should be part your trading learning curve but you should eventually move on from them. At a point indicators will become simply a distraction for you; then you have made progress.

There is no need to focus on time frames as you are still learning. When your eye is trained you will easily know which time frame suits the edge you have identified better; even though a good edge is visible on all time frames. You do not however choose to execute that edge just anywhere. You who have identified the edge will also determine the best time frame to execute it and doing that automatically will become part of the rules you will make for yourself to ensure that you execute your edge correctly. No one can determine the time frame for you.

Your aim should be to trade on a naked chart as all experienced traders who have at least 10,000 hrs chart time do. There is no substitute for pure price action and frankly there is nothing better than the language price action speaks.
It has happened to me once or twice where I just look at the chart and believe me for a few moments I actually saw the METRIX.
There was a time when it was just like had some symbiosis with XAUUSD, can’t explain it, man.


I still have more to learn. I haven’t got to the price action chapter, but looking at the index I often saw it, and I wonder what that might teach me.

I hope to reach that point one day; where I am Neo in the metrix, kicking ass and taking pips.
AMEN

Thank you.

Daily and above! The lower charts would give you a lot of headache with price breaching 50% fibs for the fourth wave and touching the peak of the first wave, which leaves you frustrated; and questioning your wave counting accuracy.

The theory is complex but with practice, you learn on the job and get better.

The lower timeframes labour for the higher timeframes; e.g 4 hours overstretches to take daily to the third wave; while daily overstretches to take weekly to the third wave and soon.

One timeframe can't be counted in isolation; they all work together!

I'd like to learn from you too!
The theory posit that price moves in waves, right? And the wave are like triangles within triangle, identical albeit not equal base on time frame.

So in a one minute time a stick is =60seconds, and for the sake of my example, a 120stick might= a wave in one minute frame, if you switched that to 1hour it would just be a two stick(a tiny blind likely).

But I get your point. And I think what you’re saying is that a lower timeframe might present many waves and my opportunities to trade them but, that would also mean nearly as many false movements?
And I totally agree.
Thank you.

Hello Boses In The house.
Hope you’re all getting good results from your trading journey.

Is there anybody amongst us who uses The Elliot wave principle to trade ? What is the best time frame to use it on?

Thank you

VeryDarkMan01:
Here are some reasons why your iPhone XR won't turn on or charge

Software Errors
The iPhone XR's operating system might be experiencing a software error that is causing it to not turn on or charge.
Try a force restart to see if that resolves the issue.

Battery Issues
If your iPhone XR turns off by itself and won't turn back on, try charging it for at least an hour to see if the battery was simply dead.
Try charging your iPhone XR with a different charger, cable, or in a different location to see if the issue is with the charger.

If all of these doesn't solve it
Then the motherboard needs to be worked upon... The booting ic needs to be changed

I can fix it for you and it will work normally again

CrimeRe: My Mum Was Beaten With A Machete By A Man Owing Her Money by blackjack21(m): 10:30pm On May 06, 2024
Beeb1e:
Hello everyone, I got a call from a man in the Village (Elele, Rivers State) on Tuesday night, that we should look for a way to come and carry our mother as she has slumped and was rushed to a hospital, where she was in coma.

He explained to me that my mother went to demand for the payment of the debt the man is owing her and he angrily beat her up, he stripped her , tore her clothes, her underwear was torn too. I’m literally crying as I type this. Everyone that tried to stop him he chased with the machete. Now my dad is late , else he won’t have tried this.

I am in Lagos so I’ve not seen her my sister that was able to travel to Elele to see her sent me the pictures.

She is out of coma now, but still unable to sit or stand or talk. We also noticed she is bleeding from her private part.

We arrested the evil man with the Elele police but the community Igwe bailed him, he is a known person in the community and owns a hotel there.

I really want this man to receive this level of Physical pain or more, because my mum almost lost her life.

I don’t know what to do or how to go about getting justice for her.

We are at military hospital port harcourt now.
If I were you, I will kill that man.

I blame Donald trump for pulling US out of Iran's nuclear deal which was achieved under president Obama, he did that to please Israel and spite Obama then
The choice is between having a enemy who is a economic juggernaut, or a enemy who is nuclear armed. It is not a easy decision.
Just as a good economy would make them stronger, locking them in a perpetual strife can also make them stronger and even more determined.
