Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that’s no reason not to give it. - agatha christie

ok, this is gonna be gay and sappy, but i was thinking about it all and this is what i wanna post.

since i’ve started this blog, i have had a metric shit ton of advice.

and no kidding, i’ve taken most of it.  it might not seem like it to the people like edwin and blunderprone and wahrheit and dk, to name a few, who’ve been reading my craptastic word hemorrhages since the beginning, and see i’m still making the same mistakes and asking the same stuff, but every bit of advice, every opinion, all of it, i have read, thought about, and most likely done.

and really, even though i still suck like a vampire in a black hole (which could happen cause vampires are already dead, they don’t need oxygen, they could “live” in space probably.  except they would go hungry cause everything else would be dead and they would have no blood to drink) i am a way better chess player today than i would have been without all the advice and help.

do not for a second think i don’t take all comments and advice into consideration.  if you took the time and effort to say something, especially something that will help me, i am damn sure gonna respect it enough to think about it, consider it, and if i can, try it.   agatha christie was wrong in this case, i will never ignore advice throw my way.

so, to everyone who has left a comment, an opinion, advice, “argued” with another commenter, all of it:  a super huge thank you.  all that information, all that personal experience, all of it is the fuel that makes the chess improvement tank roll forward.

really, that is one of the coolest things about this whole chess blog world.  so many people, of all ratings and abilities, are so willing to help and teach what they know.

that right there fucking rocks.

The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself. - oscar wilde
