Source text - English The opening of a game of chess is a battle between two equally matched armies.
There is no known method that will secure one player a decisive advantage over the other regardless of what the opponent does.
If there were, chess as a professional sport would most likely cease to exist.
Winning a game of chess depends on one's opponent making inaccurate moves.
The question "What is an inaccurate move?" can best be answered by trial and error.
Take the opening position shown in the diagram.
It is White's move.
Why do almost all serious players begin by moving either a central pawn or the king's knight?
Simply because the results of millions of chess games have given these moves a better reputation than the alternatives.
So you could say that White 'knows the secret' - except that after a handful of games have started with the same opening move, Black starts to realize that some ways of responding are better than others.
Then White comes to know what to expect from Black.
Carry on this process over several centuries, bearing in mind that most chess positions contain a few potential moves that are just as good as one another (and some that are not as good but that might just throw an opponent off guard), and you will end up with enough opening theory to fill several encyclopedias.
The question is who can remember the most.
Translation - Portuguese A abertura de um jogo de xadrez é uma batalha entre dois exércitos iguais.
Não há nenhum método que irá garantir uma vantagem decisiva de um jogador sobre os outros sem considerar as ações do oponente.
Se houvesse, o xadrez como esporte profissional provavelmente deixaria de existir.
Vencer um jogo de xadrez depende dos movimentos imprevistos de um oponente.
A pergunta "O que é um movimento imprevisto?" pode ser melhor respondida com tentativa e erro.
Pegue a posição de abertura mostrada no diagrama.
Este é um movimento das Brancas
Por que quase todos os jogadores concentrados começam movendo ou o peão central ou o cavalo?
Simplesmente porque os resultados de milhões de partidas de xadrez têm entregado esses movimentos como uma alternativa melhor do que as outras.
Então você poderia dizer que as Brancas "sabem o segredo" - exceto que após um punhado de jogos serem iniciados com o mesmo movimento, as Pretas começam a perceber que algumas maneiras de responder são melhores do que outras.
E então as Brancas vem a entender o que esperar das Pretas.
Continua-se nesse processo por vários séculos, mantendo em mente que a maioria das posições contêm alguns potenciais movimentos que são tão bons quanto qualquer outro (e alguns que não são tão bons mas que podem derrubar a guarda de um oponente), e você irá acabar com teorias de aberturas para preencher diversas enciclopédias.
A pergunta é, quem pode se lembrar da maioria.

Source text - English I want you to wait here until the spy leaves town. Then you must follow him, stealthily, to the meeting place. You must take absolute care not to be seen by the spy on your way, else he may suspect foul play and turn back. When the master appears, you must ambush and arrest them and bring the pair back to me. Alive, if you please.
Translation - Portuguese Quero que espere aqui até que o espião saia da cidade. Então você deve segui-lo, furtivamente, até o local da reunião. Você deve tomar cuidado absoluto para não ser visto pelo espião no seu caminho, caso contrário ele pode suspeitar do golpe e voltar atrás. Quando o mestre aparecer, você deve emboscar, prender e trazer o par de volta para mim. Vivos, por favor.

Greetings mates! Let me talk a little about myself.
Call me Marcos Vinícius. I teached English for one year at Wizard School and my first translation was as a volunteer in the game The Last Days of Third Age (a mod of Mount & Blade), with about 97,000 words, that's where I felt the pleasure of translating and became interested in this profession.
I've been improving my second language since my childhood, with courses, conversations with foreigners and a lot of practice, but most importantly, my knowledge of Brazilian-Portuguese is vast, the subject of the language was the one I dedicated myself the most, I've always been very interested in writing, I've written several stories and also poetry.
Talking a little more, I've been interested in the foreign language since I was a child, getting inspired with movies and video games, oh, and it's worthy mentioning that I love video games, which is my focus on translation. I started working on 15 years old, so I can say that my sense of responsibility is quite gifted, and on 20, after several jobs and English improving, I decided to become a translator.
My life motto is love, peace and friendship, I carry this on everything, so expect of me to provide a quality translation carefully made.
