Glaubst du, ich weiß, was ich tue?
Dass ich einen Atemzug lang oder einen halben mir selber angehöre?
Nicht mehr, als eine Feder weiß, was sie schreibt,
oder der Ball vermuten kann, wohin er gleich fliegt.

There’s no way to prevent that. At best, the cheap cheaters get caught; the ones who are more subtle are unstoppable. And anyway, where do you draw the line when pros get together and take turns playing and supporting each other.. I had a similar plan as you, to start playing seriously again (arena) - but now I think I’d rather stick to rarely visiting as a guest on other platforms. I had many great years on ICC, but you can’t turn back the time.
Bavaria
Munich’s Bavaria is not Oktoberfest decoration. She is a bronze colossus.King Ludwig I commissioned her. Ludwig von Schwanthaler modelled her. Johann Baptist Stiglmaier and Ferdinand von Miller cast her. From 1839 the plaster grew in the workshop. In 1844 the head. Piece by piece, until 1850.That summer the parts moved through München on purpose-built wagons. Torso first. On 7 August, the head. On the Theresienhöhe, the timber tower. The raising of the head. On 9 October 1850, during Oktoberfest, the boarding falls. The Wiesn celebrates. Ludwig is there — no longer king.

@Ronycoder But you have to start somewhere, give them something simple to understand, to work with. I always loved Lasker‘s words of „ Circling around things to get closer to them“.
@Ronycoder When you teach chess to beginners you give them simple tips like „don‘t put your knight on the Edge“ or „try to castle fast“ , later you understand that all these simple advice are lies.
In 1983, a BBC interviewer asked Richard Feynman why two magnets push each other apart and he refused to answer it.
What he did instead is the best seven minutes on thinking ever filmed.
