any tips on how i can make it more full?

@DocSimooo has taken stories and turned them into fuller, chess-laden blogs. For instance, look at Checkmated by the Mountain - Julius Perlis' story as an example.

Basically, you need to find ways, and the time, to collect one long story from your life, or a selection of short stories, and then share parallels to chess stories that have happened to you or others.

Thank you so much dear Kevin, I'm very fond of this blog because it talks about my beloved mountains, among other things.

Thanks for taking the time for such a detailed critique and I really appreciate the specific examples you gave.

On the “be checkmated” part, I included it to reflect controlling the consequences. In my view, if a player knows everything in chess, they can choose to lose, draw, or win, and I wrote it in that context.

For the opening, I feel that by “painting” one’s own style or playing random moves, a player can shape their opening game according to their opponent's move.

I avoided using god images to prevent controversy, especially since the blog has an international audience. And yes, pieces can protect from the front, I missed that, because I am lazy to read my blog content again and again and....


FYI I have read my blog content for more than 20 times but yet you caught me,
anyway thanks for the feedback let me see if I can make a single sentence critique next time.
