I would like to hear about the aspects of chess/life you are good at.
"I'm no good at anything" is not an acceptable answer.
I think you need to force yourself to be a bit more optimistic about things.
I'm not having a go at you, just being nice 🙂🙂🙂

Pawn lever, I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the term is one of the many not-so-mainstream terms used by Hans Kmoch in "Pawn Power in Chess". If my understanding is correct, it is what other authors refer to as a pawn break (advancing a pawn to force an exchange, leaving an open file/diagonal or pawn weakness to target.
