Business Opportunity in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.â€Â
It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.â€Â
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.†In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.†It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,†where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized†to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game†has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?
I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0
BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

So that one is not water or dust resistant? What about the XZ? I would still get an XZ if it wasn't. Sony makes some of the best phones but water resistance is nice too. Water resistance is not a must have for me but it certainly would be nice to have it survive being picked up with wet hands or worse being in a sweaty pocket (ugh). What I like about Sony is that their phones have had outstanding specs long before the competition did. Just look at the Xperia Z1 and you have proof of it with its 20.7 MP camera and 1080p display. Back when it was released not very many other phones had a 20.7 MP camera and a 1080p display was still a high end premium thing. Even today there are some new phones that only record in 720p but the Xperias had hardware that could do 4K. The only reason they didn't all record in 4K is because they would over heat but that is a problem common to many phones and not just Sony. The problem lies in the devices being made thinner and attempts made to squeeze out more performance. The thing that exacerbates it is that some phones have the battery built in and it is in such a way that changing it involves surgery on the device which could cause permanent damage if done incorrectly.
I call replacing the battery surgery because it involves breaking waterproof seals and tinkering with fragile connectors and these are things that not everyone could do. There are people who if they tried these things they would never get it working again.
This Smartphone is a beast of the best compact smartphones that exists in the market. Stop to criticise Sony if you never use a Sony devices you don't no what's really inside them. This phone it's almost fast as the same smartphone that the price it's cost to two or three much time. Use your brains for once a while this beast have 3 g of ram and have Res-Audio it's for those who wants to listen music all the time intesteat to see videos on You tube or television on the phone. The quality of the display is real great for what Sony offers for 720p.
"So with the X Compact being as small as it is… you're not going to get a very large screen." Uh yeah… that's the point…
Front camera isn't 8 megapixel?
It's a X Compact NOT XZ Compact. This is basically the ZR of 2016.
but I want a waterproof one
what to buy z5 ,x,or x compact
is this secretly waterproof
it's the x compact not the xz company and the x also has the 650 so it's not a weaker chipset
All I want is a small phone under 5 inches. Each time I get a glimmer of hope, I hear awful things about the phones. Samsung… please release another mini!
i seem to like this phone…but no ess dac ,3w stereo and water resistant design is beautifully disappointing.
The xa series is sony saving grace
Guys, I bought a z5 compact two days ago then realized this was released, should I return the z5 and get it instead? I'm reading very conflicted opinions everywhere xD cheers
So boring design. Sony is definitely falling behind on phones among giants like apple samsung lg even Chinese's
Just like the iPhone, they've got to start making these things 1080p. 720p/750p is simply not doing it anymore.
RIP Compact philosophy. This is just a random "Mini" atrocity like the ones from back in 2013.
SONY PHONE GONNA DEAD…ONE WORD >(Worst)
My A3 2016 is ten times prettier than this block of plastic.
no snapdragon 820, no waterproofing, 720p display in era of 4k, poor screen to body ratio, plastic again, thick phone,
no audio enhamesnt given as S-MASTER HX IN in sony walkman,
sony is best camera sensor maker still their camera doesnt perform best as compare to other brand
not an innovation, not even a improvement
z3 compact was best among compact..
No snapdragon 820 so it's trash.
Wasn't the biggest selling point for the compact series that it's a small phone with good specs? That's certainly why I bought my Z5 compact. This won't really differentiate the X compact from other phones of a similar size.
A expensive metal box, featuring hd screen… Wow!
well if we can play games on the iPhone se or 6 what's so hard about this one am I right or am I right 😲😲😒😞
beautiful😚
Sony Xperia X Compact 4.6-inch HD 23MP Camera 3GB RAM Release Date ,Specs and Price in USA
XPERIA X COMPACT! NOT XPERIA XZ COMPACT PEEPS!
I guess someone has to point out to the name of the phone again and make people realize which compact form this phone is from rolls eyes
They will never learn to make phones . 720p in late 2016? RLY?
Just ugly.
2:32 you can clearly see a black dude violently rubbing his hand on some phone lol
Seems like your average mid ranger. Hopefully it'll sell.
Does this mean that the z5 compact performs faster than this? Also, is the camera quality(difference) noticeable in these two compact phones. Thanks and awesome job for the review by the way..cheers!
mind as well buy a moto g3
I'll buy it for $50
My M4 Aqua is soooooo much Pretty!
Always thought the xperia compact line was the last beacon of hope for small one handed android phones…… Guess that Iphone SE looks pretty good about now.
wait for z6 compact.. x compact is bullshit downgrade from z5c
Sony's xperia rom gets better and better.
it is compact version of Xperiz X and not XZ dumbo. common sense.
The back looks like a nice phone, but the front looks like …. just a power bank? -_-
That phone looks like a brick.
You have photo sensor on body mobile, it's bad, no?
