When I was very young, songs like "Every Breath You Take" and "Roxanne" by The Police made a huge impression on me. Fast forward to now, and I can say I know most of their songs and Sting's solo albums as well. They've been a constant on my playlist over the years.

1. En passant serves no purpose in the game and just confuses people 2. A pawn should be able to stay a pawn once it reaches the 8th rank just for aesthetic reasons 3. You should be able to say no to your opponents first move at least once. (D4? Nah pick something else) 4.

What does it actually take to become a 2600+ chess grandmaster? ♟ According to October rating lists there’s around 1813 grandmasters, 232 of which are 2600+. That’s approximately 13%. So we should expect around 13% of all grandmasters in a country to be over 2600, right? 🌎
