You can’t judge a book by its cover, but better safe than sorry.
Just remember the grass is always greener on the other side and ignorance is bliss, and at the end it the day it the same old same old.
Give us some more idioms, surely you have more!
Is there any way the computer's one-line game summary can stop saying, "Looks Like That Game Slipped Through Your Fingers"? It is the stupidest, most insulting comment imaginable, and it tells me nothing about how I played. There is no discernable pattern in its use. Sometimes it shows in games where I was NEVER winning, or where I dropped a piece or missed a checkmate on my part or my opponent's. Most of the other computer comments for lost games are much better, for example: A back and forth fight that didn't go your way. One player was winning but gave it away. A chaotic game where both players had chances. Tough game, your opponent played well. One mistake made all the difference. "Slipped through your fingers," makes me so angry I am considering quitting chess.com
