My playing style was changing over time.

When starting chess, I was forced to play tactical, still had no clue about positions and stuff. Had my first successes.

Later after long time absence, I learned about chess strategy. I started playing again. Positional. I could win against non kings pawn players.

Few month ago, just for fun, I returned to tactical gambits. With a little success but much fun.

Budapest, 1973. A very typical Budapest scene in many ways: a group of men gathered around a chessboard in one of the several thermal baths that can be found there. See if you can see some serious 1970s sideburns on display too!

@0x63 What material is recommended? Reliable and maybe?

@ygor Would vote against geo guessers then, without knowing these guys. Just because the chance if getting caught in cheating seems to be much higher to me in chess than in geo guessing.

@ygor So you have to guess without external help then, so no real OSINT. Nice idea. Remember we sometimes played this with travel pictures.

@ygor What is geo guessing?

Most chess players come from the rest of the world.
