I'm sure there's updated algebraic notation version.
When I was 10 years old in 1980, I solved the Rubik's cube on my own. No books, no Youtube videos.
When I was 9, I made my first Chinese Chess set out of bottle caps and a paper bag. That is the greatest chess set in the world.
Let me give you an advice. It's actually not my advice.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said: You can have a membership to best gym in the world. But lifting a weight is lifting a weight, and nobody can do that for you.
When you grow up you can see gyms like:
Planet Fitness, $133/year.
OneLife Fitness, $400/year (this is the kind of gym Arnold was talking about.)
Equinox: $2,000/year.
All that is non-sense. With $400, you can have everything you need for ever.
This is actually how Arnold Schwarzenegger used to work out, at Venice Beach (on the beach, not inside a gym).
There is one thing in this world that can't be bought, and it's the most important thing. Your effort and your ingenuity. Alright that's 2 things.
