10 Life Lessons Learnt From Chess Game by Nobody: 8:28pm On Apr 15, 2015 |
1. In chess, every move has a purpose. Life obviously cannot be lived with this much unceasing calculation, nor should we want to live it that way, but there are times when we must align our actions with a predetermined strategy, instead of bumbling through it. 2. Play for the advantage. If you already have it, maintain it. If you don’t have it, seize it. 3. Everyone’s playing. Sometimes it’s a friendly, often it is more serious. The problem is that not everyone knows they’re playing – even after they have made a move. 4. Seize the initiative. If you wait around for someone else to make a decision for you, they will… and you probably won’t like how it turns out. 5. Learn to spot patterns. There are often clearly defined lines of success that work well. Learn to see these when they repeat, and take advantage of them. 6. Don’t get stuck on the formula. A little bit of creativity and lateral thinking can often take you to new heights. 7. Ignore what your opponent is trying to do at your own peril. We often get so absorbed in our own games and machinations that we ignore what is going on around us. Be aware of threats and alert to opportunities. 8. Simplify. 9. If you only play patzers, you never really improve – take on a few tough challenges, and even if you lose, try to learn something new. 10. Cut your losses. Sometimes you are going to lose material. Try to minimise your losses and move on. Source: https://seanhamptoncole./2013/03/26/living-strategically-50-lessons-chess-teaches-you-about-life/ 1 Like |

Nice one. You forgot to include sacrifice. Sometimes you have to let go of a few of your officials to achieve a particular aim. In life, there might come times when we need to let go of things we hold dear to achieve what we want No body is totally valueless. Those rooks can help you regain some of your officials if well manipulated. Sometimes, you just have to look deeper, you can always gain one or two things from that person you do not attach too much importance to. Hope I made sense 2 Likes |

Beamborla: Of course you made sense, Sometimes you have to sacrifice in order to achieve a break-through. But also, Ignore meaningless threats. Anticipate and deal with dangerous ones swiftly. |
