I think I lost the will right after I started smoking this...um...cigarette. But the pictures do show up on my screen, so maybe you guys don't really exist
If kco doesn't exist then his vineyard probably doesn't either.

No, I'm pretty sure you guys aren't really there. I'm probably typing all the comments in this thread
Too bad about that vineyard thing. Your future was looking pretty bright there for a bit.

Some "rules of thumb" that work for me and that I don't see here yet:
If you find a good move, look for a better one.
Develop knights before bishops.
If you find you're self hemmed in and you're not very developed yet, don't try to wildy develop everything. First calculate the right order of which pieces should be developed first.
When your opponent attacks a flank, attack at the center (it's dangerous to blindly follow this rule in every situation though).
Never, ever forget the importance of "strategically position."
Well gosh, that's exactly the same thing (on the plus side, I am getting a buzz just from seeing the word "drunk" over and over again...a new form of contact high).
Ooh, another chess.com rule of thumb: never ever mention drugs.
