Suitable Opponents

"As far as selecting suitable opponents, not that they’re so easy to find, try to play people no less than one level below you and no higher than one level above you. That’s an acceptable range. Playing opponents below the low parameter promotes superficial play, and playing opponents above the high parameter can be terribly discouraging." - Bruch Pandolfini

Nc3 is the same as (Nc3 and Nc3)

Commutation

(Nc3 or d4) is the same as (d4 or Nc3)
(Nc3 and d4) is the same as (d4 and Nc3)

Association

(Nc3 or (d4 or e4)) is the same as ((Nc3 or d4) or e4)
((Nc3 and d4) and e4) is the same as (Nc3 and (d4 and e4))

Contraposition

If Nc3 then Bb4 is the same as If not Nc3 then not Bb4

De Morgan's

Not Bb4 or Nc6 is the same as Not Bb4 and not Nc6
Not Bb4 and Nc6 is the same as Not Bb4 or not Nc6

Biconditional Exchange

Bb4 if and only if Nc3 is the same as ((If Bb4 then Nc3) and (If Nc3 then Bb4))

Conditional Exchange

If Nc3 then Bb4 is the same as Not Nc3 or Bb4

Distribution

(Nc3 and (Bb4 or Nc6)) is the same as ((Nc3 and Bb4) or (Nc3 and Nc6))

Exportation

Note: These replacement rules work in both directions

Empty Canvas

So Paul doesnt show up for chess anymore. It might be because I destroyed him two games in a row a couple weeks ago. For a guy trying to resurect a chess club to get beaten repeatedly by the only guy who shows up would be disheartening. Its not that he was a bad player. He took second at the last uwm tournement and studies regularly. But honestly like most people he lacks the ability to free his mind on the board. Im no genious, hell I dont even know how to spell it. That being said you have to be able to follow your feelings, your gut, how your mind feels that day, maybe old school, maybe artistic, maybe wild, when you can do that freely your game improves exponentially. Much like trying to play with stress or troubles on your mind. It crushes your own game. You become your own opponent. When life is good and free it all changes and the game is more like an empty canvas.
