Learning the march of the pieces and starting to play with reduced forms of play allows you to understand the spirit of chess and to be in a position to win from the first games.
Secondly, some basic principles on openings, the main figures of midgame combinations such as pins, forks, discoveries, sacrifices and finally some endgame techniques open up the immense territory of full games. .
Today, the internet and its many free gaming sites allow you to play and progress 24 hours a day by meeting players from all over the world and of all levels.

20 p.m. Cine Debate - 'Bigger than Us' - Amnesty International

For 6 years, 18-year-old Melati has been fighting the plastic pollution that is ravaging her country, Indonesia. Like her, a generation is rising to fix the world. Everywhere, adolescents and young adults are fighting for human rights, the climate, freedom of expression, social justice, access to education or food. Dignity. Alone against all, sometimes at the risk of their life and safety, they protect, denounce, care for others. Earth. And they change everything. Melati goes to meet them across the globe. She wants to understand how to hold on and continue her action. From the favelas of Rio to the remote villages of Malawi, from makeshift boats off the island of Lesbos to Native American ceremonies in the mountains of Colorado, Rene, Mary, Xiu, Memory, Mohamad and Winnie reveal a magnificent world to us, that of courage and joy, commitment to greater than oneself. While everything seems or has collapsed, this youth shows us how to live. And what it means to be in the world today.

I give you this challenge!

20 p.m. Gesticulated conference The perfume of the man in white: itinerary of an ally born of and by Philippe Merlant
Can we become an ally of the dominated when we ourselves tick almost all the boxes of the categories of the dominant? I have reason to feel concerned by the question: I am a man, white… and bourgeois, what's more! Finally, more precisely, coming from the Nantes bourgeoisie, and myself "petty bourgeois intellectual".
So how, when one is, like me, a dominant power three and one chooses, in addition, the profession of journalist which consists of "being everywhere at home" (typically the posture of dominant!), how can one imagine that we can go over to the side of the dominated and try to be useful in their fights? And how, as a journalist, can you take the opposite view of a media system that systematically contributes to reinforcing systems of domination? This already presupposes, as my accomplice Rouletabille says and does, paying attention to “everything that is seen and that is not seen“.
This is "The perfume of the man in white": the doubts and certainties of a dominating journalist who dreamed of becoming an ally of the dominated.
