    But he’s correct. If you’re rich enough you can bribe all the seconds, then you can make extra moves and irregular moves. Heck, you can just have all the seconds declare you victor.

    For extra points, hire guys with guns to make sure everyone at the tournament agrees with your rules.

    This is the state of modern neoliberal capitalism from the view of billionaire oligarchs and multi-national conglomerate corporations.

          The FIDE regulations dictate that a player who declines en passant must drop a brick on their pipi. A brick is kept nearby for such eventualities

      It works for the crooks in charge.

      But the people paying for these kind of alpha boot camps aren’t ever going to be in that position. They’ll just put on blinders and “hustle” like a good little worker.

    I “know” how to play chess but when I try to play against a computer I constantly get reminded I can’t move my piece there because I would be putting myself in check.

    Pretty sure I’ve only won 2 chess games in my life. … Against someone at my level.

      Chess isn’t actually a logic game or a smarts game, it’s a memory game. If you’re a computer or one of those 15-people-per-generation chess brains, then yeah, you probably can logic your way into thinking enough moves ahead. If not, your only option is to remember a bunch of different plays and learn how to recognise and execute the preditermined strategies. If you try to do it your way, you will be stuck losing to a bad computer or chess club kids online

    To be fair, though, if you were in a game of chess where you could make 10 moves for every one move your opponent makes, it would be really easy to win that game of chess.
