The number 8 is a chess number. After all, 8 squared gives 64, the number of squares on a chessboard.

The chess world is a simplified (about a billion times) copy of the human world. That is why studying chess is a fascinating activity.

I congratulate the lovely ladies on the upcoming holiday of March 8 and strongly recommend taking up chess. In our chess world, the ratio of men to women is approximately 10 to 1. We lack beautiful ladies with their beauty and intuitive approach!

The excuse "I don't know how to play" doesn't work. Especially for you, I wrote "Chess, a self-study guide for beginners". Immediately study and amaze men not only with your personal beauty but also with the beauty of your game.

A couple of weeks ago, I presented the "Chess Address" trainer for training the hand and improving understanding of chess notation.

Now I present to you detailed instructions for this trainer.

In brief, these instructions can be summarized as follows. The system gives a request in the standard format of a chess square address (for example: f5). The player must quickly react to the request by pressing the corresponding square on the chessboard.

And in detail, read here. All game elements are analyzed. Examples of games on computer and smartphone are given.

Of particular interest may be information for a novice JS developer. Here is a detailed analysis of the game's functionality.

For beginners, learning JS is an excellent starting point for diving into IT.

Wide range of applicability. JS is universal: it is used both on the client side (in browsers) and on the server side (via Node.js).

Low entry threshold. Getting started with JS is quite simple. You can learn the basics right in the browser using the built-in developer tools. You already have a ready-made example that you can "play around with".

Huge library of resources. The internet is full of free courses, tutorials, articles, and learning materials on JavaScript. There is a huge community of experienced developers ready to help beginners solve problems and answer questions.

Popularity and demand. JS has long become the de facto standard for web development. Frameworks and libraries based on JS (React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, and others) are used everywhere, creating a huge job market and career prospects.

Easy learning of basic concepts. JS is well suited for understanding fundamental programming principles such as loops, conditions, functions, working with objects and arrays. This knowledge is easily transferable to other programming languages, helping to master new technologies faster.

So, lovely ladies, I hope I have convinced you to take up chess and JS programming. Start right now!

PS

Pay attention to the chess position in the picture. This is an unusual chess problem. White must checkmate in 3 moves, but in such a way that the number 8 is preserved. Hint here.
