Hi all, thought a nice thing to do for my dad for his birthday would be to restore the two cast iron pans he uses. I've attached pictures of the two, which basically show rust wearing through, particularly on the smaller of these. I've read conflicting advice (abraid back with steel wool on the specific areas Vs strip with lye all over and fully reseason). I have minimal experience, so was wondering what the right approach is likely to be? Thanks in advance!
How do you distinguish between romantic attraction and strong friendship? Something I struggle with and when romantic attachment is suggested to me I don't know whether/how to say yes/no.

Thank you.
For those of you that haven't come across him, GM Sadler is active on mastodon (@gmmds@mastodonapp.uk), and posts some really exciting and interesting content on his YouTube channel (https://m.youtube.com/@SiliconRoadChess/videos).
I'd summarise his videos as using a variety of engines to produce unique, engine approved yet human comprehensible attacking ideas, often in opening/middle games, but he's also analysed some famous human endgames with these engines. While they're not necessarily good videos for beginners, I think anyone over ~1200 OTB will get a lot out of his videos.
If you want a good example video to see if it's for you, his/Dragon's Qd2 idea in the Pirc is a great example (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DuFfJwBgMD8), though I'd encourage you to flick through and find a video on an opening that you play.
The main chess community on .world has fuck all subs and I'm not asking reddit, so I'll brick my pipi, shit my pampers, and ask it here instead. Club has a (very friendly) blitz night coming up, and I'd like to scrape some points against the top player (who's about 2150 FIDE), who plays the czech benoni. To give context I'm about 1900, so much worse but in with a shot if I put something fun together. Any ideas for some neat lines to look at?
