      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.

          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

    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.

    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.
