kaskus is a bunch of penny pushers

that's what I am aiming for, I want them to find an opening they enjoy out of let's say a basic 3 and have them immerse their games around that opening, looking for variations in it and how to convert it to a good middle and end game. it's not to just blow them away with 30 openings just one they can enjoy and explore

Hello, one of my many jobs in the real world is teaching elementary and middle school students the joy of chess. This blog is for some assistance in teaching my students with some friendly input. Please, keep this serious and not include CN drama. I believe Chess is a great and amazing game that really does help some students preform better and even assists students with certain mental and social issues become more integrated. So, I have been in this program (based in Chicago, however I work in Wisconsin schools) Chess Scholars for almost a year now (11months to be exact) and this session will be my first session with middle school students. So anyone who is an avid player of chess or simply knows the game pretty well your help would be greatly appreciated. So without further procrastination here is my first question! #1. For middle school students at a beginner & intermediate level what would you suggest is a good opening for both black and white (please state the top 3. if possible even give some reason why) I have my own ideas but would love to receive some outside perspective. EDIT: for the 3 white openings please if possible show 3 black opening which defend against the white openings.

so wait, this entire time I thought MI6 was actually the M16 gun? who would have thought o.o the more you know

two years?!?!?! where have you been!

spotting sillyness over the interweb is not my strong suit. :D!

I told Kaskus I would be leaving PM in two weeks (from yesterday) so if we are still in range sure <3 1 on 1? otherwise even if the war is over we can for some good fun.

as far as I am aware none of those ever lost Kaskus Membership. Usually when member resigns it is on the FB forums, I never saw any of them resign. alot of our members including me go on other AA's to assist other alliances. you would need to discuss with leadership to know the answer you seek.

I almost left Kaskus and left PM to have fun but no ones in my range. :l

then I feel genuinely bad for you.

it was simply a question brought about by curiosity, no need for such a tone. an improvement would be for alliances to not care about being declared on.

usually PMing is used for large scale wars in which case there will be many rounds and many alliances attacking you. we are incapable of declaring on all your members effectively making your "strategy" irrelevant. unless said PM is being used to allow some members to raise a warchest in which case I approve. EDIT: looking at the PM of MI6 I am amazingly confused, 90% of those members are not in range of I would say 80% of our alliance. please MI6 explain

from personal views of the private FB Kaskus page we here in Kaskus prefer to keep things inclosed. we have no use to expand it, we would gain nothing nor would Unknown, nor would our allies, nor would honestly anyone. anyone who has any clue what Kaskus is about can tell you we enjoy war, we found what we feel a valid reason to (edit: engage) said war, and in my personal perspective don't really need nor care for anyone's approval. Like really as sad as it is the day after a war is over some members are already frisky for another, it's quite crazy. MI6, if you are true players in the CN game than you understand war is fun, you are pretty much 2.5x our sizes and our allies are just cheerleaders, man up, shut up, and have fun. unless you feel your "weight" is needed elsewhere in which case no offense, you are not tech heavy (like us) so you have no relevance in any future global conflict.

I think we should just enjoy the conflict (sadly i'm on the sidelines for now :c darn that PM impenetrable fortress defense.) everyone knows #1 Casualties wins the game.
