I was ASTONISHED when I read this quote. Surely, he can't mean that a person is capable of being a monk and a ravening, bloodthirsty animal at the same time?! Are all monks, in his opinion, serial killers in disguise?
Since I've modeled my life Alekhine's teachings, I believe his every utterance must have deep meaning. But now I wonder: can I really learn anything about chess from a man who's so hostile to both monks and "beasts of prey"???
This remark has some truth... he is saying that a chess player must kill the game quickly and show no mercy (bird of prey), and also lay off the intoxicants and other distractions(!), sleep and eat properly (monk).

Lol. I hope you're both kidding. He meant that one should incorporate parts of each situation's psychology into your game and mindset. He believes that you should not only be vicious and ruthless like a beast of prey but also serene and confident like a monk. Pray not to be prey as they say.

You can open multiple journal entries in Enhanced Journal by clicking on the + button to the right of the tabs. Once a new tab is open, clicking on items in the Journal Directory will open that entry in the new tab.
If you have Journal Entries that you reference a lot, you can add them to the bookmark bar by clicking on the star button. Clicking on a bookmark button will open that entry in the current tab. To delete a bookmark button, right-click the entry and select Delete from the drop-down menu.
At the top of the Journal Pages on the left side will be a forward and back button. As you open pages within a tab, you can use the forward and back button to navigate the history of pages you've visited. Right-clicking on these buttons will also show a menu of all pages in the history so you can navigate directly to a previous page.
On the right side will be additional tools available for each journal page. These are specific to the type of Journal Entry being viewed.
Common to all entries is the locate button, that will center the screen on the Note icon that represents this journal entry. So, when you drag and drop a journal entry on the map, pressing this button from the Enhanced Journal will help locate it on the map.
Also common to most entries is the Show to players button, that will show a copy of the journal entry on the players screens. You can choose to send this entry to all players or choose which players can view it. Shift clicking this button will show the full entry to all players. Ctrl clicking will send just the image to all players. You can choose to send the full entry or just the picture when selecting what player to send it to.
And Journal Entries that contain text descriptions have a search box that will search the description and highlight words that match what's typed in the search box. Which is useful to look things up, when a player has asked about something and you can't remember where in the big block of text it's mentioned.
Along with the regular journal entry, you can now create entries that are just a picture, represent a person, place, quest, encounter, and can create a slideshow for a multimedia presentation for your players.
Specific icons for each journal type are added to both the standard Journal Directory and the Journal Directory on the Enhanced Journal window so that you can see at a glance what type each entry represents.
The Enhanced Journal sheet will contain tabs for both the text and picture componants of a Journal Entry. But you can also choose to view it as text only, or as the original sheet for Journal Entries.
This represents a person in your world. This person most likely won't have a token, but still needs to be referenced and have information available. You can upload a picture, add information to relevant properties and add descriptive text. There is also a notes section where you can add private notes to this journal entry.
On the second tab you can store information on what monsters will be encountered, what items could be gained at this location, and what DCs could be triggered. To add a monster or item to the entry, drag the appropriate icon onto the sheet. Dragging the monster icon from the entry to the canvas will create a representative token on the map. Clicking on the dice icon, on a DC row will prompt for a dice roll. Currently it's set to use Monk's Tokenbar to request those rolls, but I have plane to expand this in the future.
If you want to create a multimedia presentation for your players to introduce your module, you can use a slideshow. A slideshow can be shown to the players in a window, on the canvas but still allowing access to other windows or covering everything so they can be more immersed in the presentation. You can also add an audio file to play once the slideshow starts.
Clicking on the Plus tool button will add another slide. You can customise a slide by setting the background image and setting how that image is displayed. You can also add text to the slide, change the colour of that text, and change where it's positioned. You can also customise how long the slide is shown for, and what kind of effect is used to transition to the next slide.
When you wish to play the slideshow, press the play button and it will be displayed on the players screen and begin the animations. The current slide will be shown in the journal window, with the remaining slides showing along the bottom. Clicking on the slides along the bottom will show that specific slide, if the display length of a slide has been set to manual, then click the slide to advance to the next one, and right-click to reverse a slide. A progress bar along the top will show you how much time is left in the slide before the next one is shown.
Player purchasing can be set so that the shop is closed and not visible, open but unavailable for purchase, or set up so the GM distributes items, the items can be requested for puchase, or just open for the players to purchase whatever they want.
