Welcome, to ideas that I sincerely hope will immediately improve your “Chess Opening Strategy!”

Below, are several concepts to bear in mind as you open your chess game by methodically building a good foundation for the rest of your game. (Don’t worry, you can let loose and let it all hang out, when you get to your middle and End Game!)

Start by playing one of your Center Pawns (then, move the other one, soon thereafter)

Don’t get lured into swapping pawns that are in front of your King (i.e. your two Center Pawns) – especially if you haven’t even Castled yet!
(you’ll just be opening-up attack lines for your opponent, as well as seriously weakening your own pawn structure)

Bring out the King’s Knight very early, most likely to KB3. Bring out the King’s Bishop soon thereafter.

Within your first ten moves, try to get most of the following accomplished:

Both center pawns moved (one in clear support of the other)

Both Knights developed (curving towards the center of the board – not flanging out towards the wings of the board!)

Both Bishops developed (and NOT blocked at all by any of your own Pawns!)

Castling completed.

From this strong foundation, you’ll be able to surge outward towards an affective Middle Game, that hopefully will lead you to Victory!

Enjoy!!

You want to lose weight?
You want to feel good about doing it?
Then, RUN!

Get the “OK” from your doctor and start a running program that “works for you……now!”

First of all, scout out a good route – in your neighborhood, if possible – and then drive that route in your car, to make sure it’s at least one mile.

Then, first thing tomorrow – don’t put it off – BEGIN it!

Do a walk, then run, GRADUAL program that very slowly ends up being “all running”, for the entire mile. It may take several weeks to build up to that goal; but hey, you’re in no hurry! You’ve made an important “life decision” and that’s all that matters!

Until you’ve achieved that “running for the entire mile” goal; don’t run every day. Try for at least a day of rest, between each time.

You’re going to be surprised at how soon you begin to notice that the pounds are slipping away…..and you’re also going to be blown away at the other benefits that come your way BESIDES just losing weight!

I quickly earned praise from my Doctor, by retreating from his diagnosis of being “pre-diabetic!” He also pointed out that my cholesterol readings had definitely taken a “good bounce” in the right direction!

DO IT, my friend. Make that right decision that’ll make your life better!

Begin that program of running for weight loss, beginners!

Bay window treatments come in many forms, but possibly the most popular are curtains. The use of curtains will surely enhance the ambiance of the space giving it a light flowing effect.
