@npub1rh0…sjsf at the risk of derailing the topic, I'll post a short [hopefully] related story
TFW you join a non-English Mastodon server because you challenge yourself to pick up the basics of that language on your own. You start in read-only mode, sit quietly in a corner and read the local timeline... and after a while you get banned because the server is tiny, everyone knows everyone and you look suspicious by never tooting anything 😂 😂 😂

@npub17nk…6qq2 why does it take you 15 minutes? a simple analogy only takes a couple of seconds. my analogy for sharing passwords or social media accounts is "it's like using one toothbrush together". if at this point that someone only raises an eyebrow instead of displaying obvious cringe on face, I add "and some of you can use that toothbrush not only for brushing teeth". that works flawlessly

@npub17nk…6qq2 at some point I stopped believing that people involved in politics think in categories like fairness. actually, most adults don't. this is something indoctrinated into children, but at some point most of them give up on it, to stay competitive

@npub17nk…6qq2 A two party system is just an extrapolation of the bad cop and good cop scenario. They have different approaches. But they work together. Against you.

What makes you think that "2-3 openings and/or defenses" is "theory of chess"? I'd rather call that "theory of openings".
My advice is to grab a classic book of a great player from the pre-computers era, and study it on your own, or together with your son - there's at least a dozen of such widely acknowledged chess books. Feel free to ask for suggestions.
