The Pareto principle applied to chess? • page 2/2 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Empathy. Calmness. Creativity. Poise. Ruthlessness.

where can we find data to figure any of that out.. or even test the pareto principle (or postulate?).

is this like the toast will fall on its worst side (assuming we know what that is, btw). the side that makes it a disaster consequence... (while the odds could be argued on the basis that the bread without condiment is lighter, and with enough height, might act as a feather or kite membrane and the condiment act like the kite pull, in spite of both lacking any aero-dynamics in that direction). A sort of aphorism, not really proven but still telling of human experience. We would expect my contorted argument to be splittiing air, so that the message of the worst side of toast is not really the letter of the principle, but some pessimistic we are doomed out of our control kind of blues sharing.

Calling it a principle, is actually possibly part of the beyond the letter message. Like a wiseman once said::: and the quote is meant as a new angle to watch for, we might not have considered asking even...

principle... what is it?

For example, Microsoft noted that by fixing the top 20% of the most-reported bugs, 80% of the related errors and crashes in a given system would be eliminated.

But you are right. It is just a thumb rule. Nevertheless, the key message is important: Focus on topics which have a good input-output relation.
