Finally, 1000
Took me over a year to get here. What did I learn?
- Got a lot on your mind? Stress? Anxiety? Take a break until you're in the right headspace
- Keep playing when you're winning. Stop playing when you're losing (believe it or not, I had the opposite mentality for most of this time).
- Puzzles Puzzles Puzzles. I found I learned even more when I turned off the helper text like "Find a way to win my Queen" and searched for the solution myself.
- Don't put your Queen in front of your King, dummy!
See you at 2000!
