Dear Chess Friends, In this video, I’ll walk you through two of my recent online games where I successfully executed the classic Greek Gift sacrifice. These examples will help illustrate not just the mechanics of the tactic, but also the typical attacking ideas that often follow and can lead to a decisive victory. Whether you're learning the motif for the first time or looking to sharpen your tactical vision, this is a perfect opportunity to see how the Greek Gift can work in real games. Watch the full video (17-18 mins) with a FREE subscription on my Patreon channel here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/greek-gift-in-128053417?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link I hope you'll find it useful. If you like it and you want to see my private educational videos, you can choose a membership on my Patreon channel. I upload 4-6 hours of videos / month (I've already uploaded 122 educational videos, totaling more than 30 hours of content) and you can learn about openings, strategies, tactics and endgames, too. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me. Kind regards, Gabor

Rain Ortega (dj tega) By request, lessons from dance over 8 yrs I wish I had learned earlier. (Feel free to add your own!) -Leading and following is not gender-specific-Every single impulse you receive as a follow is a request, not a demand-You can stop a dance at any time.-You can say no to a dance for any reason, and you don't have to provide one.-Never sacrifice your own safety in the name of "making your partner happy".-If you are a beginner lead, don't get caught up in learning every crazy move you can. Get your foundations down, and the intricate stuff will be a lot easier.-Every intricate movement comes from it first looking huge, shitty, and clumsy. -The most expensive shoes aren't necessarily the RIGHT shoes for you.-You don't have to compete even if everyone else is. -Shhhhhhhhhhh. Stop guessing, start listening.-Every lesson, every mistake, every "embarrassment" is investment into later skill and refinement-Pay attention in class, ask questions.-The best teachers will provide equal curriculum for both roles, along with safety and comfort notes.-Intention through every finger and toe. Mean every single movement.-If it feels like shit in your body, you *MAY* be doing it wrong OR you may need to make adjustments to accommodate your own flexibility or range of motion. Ask!-You can't treat every partner as if they are going to be the same. We have different skills, flexibility, mood, ROM, articulation, and boundaries. Be prepared to adapt, and do so gladly.-Don't forget the social part of social dance. Don't get caught up in hierarchies or self-comparison if you can help it.

Hola salseros! Obviously everyone at chess.com knows how to play chess, but in this club we can say that we are chess players and also salsa dancers, jaja ​​now this is impressive and something that we can tell our friends with great pride. The idea is to dance like in the video above. Yes, of course! That's the level to be reached ..., but first we must have the basic concepts of salsa. I'll show you some salsa videos for beginners right away. I put this video first ☝️ because this guys from addicted2salsa are so clear and respect all the basic steps of salsa, In addition to be a video for beginners, it was with this guys addicted2salsa that I cleared my mind and began to understand how to dance appropriately and with an universal style that make you able to dance with anyone in the world. I began to implement my knowledge in the salsa clubs just with their videos. In no time I became even more interested and attended salsa classes, where my addicted2salsa videos made the process faster and easier and avoided to spend hours and hours repeating the basic steps, I quickly passed the beginner level and started intermediate classes. I highly recommend them! Another videos down here 👇:

Capablanca J.R. Capablanca was a World Chess Champion and one of the greatest players in chess history, yet he wrote very little about the game. Chess Fundamentals, though normally for the beginning player, contains valuable insights that will benefit players at all levels of understanding, including masters. Capablanca explains: ·How to obtain and nurture a passed pawn·How to get and keep the initiative·Cardinal rules for rook and pawn endings·How to attack using knight as the main force·How to cut off enemy pieces Chess Fundamentals is one of the jewels of chess literature. Marshall, Frank J. - Capablanca, Jose Raul 1-0 game 1 1909 Rubinstein, A.K.- Capablanca, Jose Raul 1-0 game 2 1911 Janowski, D.- Capablanca, Jose Raul 1-0 game 3 Havana 1913 Capablanca, Jose Raul - Znosko-Borovski, E.
