64 square enlightenment

To many of those throughout the world chess appears as a game to which it is played with specific objectives that are attempted to carry out by the "if I do this my opponent does that" method of playing. This style of play is not only completely unnecessary but also wrong. You will find people studying hundreds and thousands of lines and variations of lines of chess games only to be mediocre chess players at best. Seeing this has has turned many people from not only learning how to play but also continuing to play.
Once someone learns how to truly play they will find themselves obliterating those who don't and when the day arrives they are against a true opponent... then you will injected with the chess high. With short term effects such as forced checkmates, sacrifice checkmates as well as just knowing what your opponent is thinking because you are telling them what to think.
Over time I will try and unlock this way of playing to all who wish to know so that not only will you become a better opponent for me someday but that you may hopefully experience the high I get every single day.
Before I go any further I need to make sure anyone wishing to learn must know at least how to play.
