You don't need to charge Khmer. they will only play for money! they do it in the café opposite my place all morning $0.5 or $1 a gameOrsh wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2018 3:50 pm The dharmic way to charge for services rendered seems to be that you charge a higher amount from wealthy people, a modest amount from regular people and you keep yourself accessible for the impoverished free of charge. If you just give knowledge and time away free to everyone not only do you get shunned by the others in your line of work but also the student values it less and its hard to keep fully motivated as a teacher because humans arent perfect no matter how the scriptures entreat us. For Cambodia, a more or less reasonable fee for regular people would be around 20 dollars for 75-90 minutes. Keeping in mind that a very bad cup of coffee in PP goes for 2 dollars and someone with my credentials charges 80-100 for an hour in the states this is a type of "introductory offer" to see if there is any interest at all in the classically european game of chess here in the fringes of civilization.
anyways , for all the impoverished backpackers, im still staying on 176th street for at least 3 more weeks so beers and blitz anytime after dark if you arrange it. ;P
otherwise ill continue to bar crawl with my pretty russian gf until my rent is finished and i can split.
pardon the blogging
tl;dr whatever you wanna pay you savvy consumer
Re: International Chess Player Passing thru Phnom Penh
Chess, like most endeavors a man may pursue, is highly politicized, now more then ever. During the times of the clashes of superpowers Fischer, by nature of his birth there, represented USA on the world stage and destroyed his competitor, Spassky, who had a whole system of Russian chess industry behind him. Fischer came back from iceland an hero, but that didnt last long as he was too idiosyncratic and intelligent to play along the particular role of celebrity that was then crafted for him. So chess power swung back to the USSR where they had the Korchnois battle the Karpovs battle the Kasparovs all on a grand stage with hypnotists from each team glaring away at whatever they do to distract the opponent and secret service deals all around. The chess headquarters of the world is run out of Kalmykia of all places.
Then came computers. Kasparov either threw the match to deep blue or had an ego breakdown and since then its go check google chess for the answer.
The team of gms a world contender would have to employ to come up with research for him got substituted for a powerful engine running 24/7 searching for
novelties and decisive moves in unclear but currently played positions.
Or just smuggle a cellphone into the playing area and you are good to go. Something that gets done regularly now even if they have scanners in the hotel. See Topalov match..
The politics of chess now promotes that the young people are the ones that are the best players and the most capable ones. This was never true historically
but if you check the top ten now they are mostly under 25. This of course can be arranged in many ways.
I dont know what is evil, what is not and what is thinking about it, but here is some brief contemporary chess history for Y'all.
hehe and no pics for yous since im not fully autistic like its easily presumable,
and everything is a farsical pizza show to everyone here apparently anyways.

Could you beat a super computer, such as deep blue?
Some Russians in Cambodian have beaten an ATM, but they usually end up in deep shit.
