Queen's Check

One of the oldest and most well-liked board games is chess. It is played between two opponents using specially created pieces in opposing colors, usually white and black, on a checkered board. To capture your opponent's king is the game's goal. Chess is a wonderful game. Despite my lack of skill, I liked playing chess. It was somewhat difficult to learn because a player must be familiar with hundreds of patterns, concepts, and techniques before playing the game, but it may greatly increase your memory, reading comprehension, and focus. It is also very challenging to play this game if you lack fast thinking and spatial awareness. One must be able to precisely examine the situation of the pieces while visualizing several moves in the future.

When I was a sophomore in high school, I first learned how to play chess. I learned the moves of each chess pieces just because of watching. I became obsessed with playing chess after learning the fundamental moves, and I even entered a small competition at my school. When I play, I usually seem to lack awareness, and it is still an issue for me until now. But each time I lose, I always get knowledge that makes me better. However, it honestly makes me feel less confident, but there are always people in my life that are supportive and like the way I play. I'm still learning, but I'll get better at it eventually. I don't really have any plans to participate in major chess tournaments because I still lack the confidence and I need to concentrate on my schoolwork. But this is exactly what I enjoyed; I like it when my opponent compliment's my moves and when they tell me that my move was wrong. I had the opportunity to play with one of my seniors last week, and he was excellent. Every time I make a mistake, he always informs me what to do instead. He was incredibly good, and I picked up a lot from him, including openings and how to trap my opponent. I'm hoping to play during our physical education day to gain more knowledge because I know that many students in BDC are excellent players and that will help me to learn more.

"The Queen's Gambit" is one of my favorite Netflix series; it follows orphaned chess prodigy Beth Harmon as she battles addiction while aspiring to be the best player in the world. She was incredibly skilled, and I was impressed by her movements. She picks things up quickly, but she lacks patience like me. She always wants to win, which is admirable, but if you truly want to win all the time, losing can sometimes make you feel less secure. Because of this, I constantly remind myself to accept defeat and use the experience to improve. Magnus Carlsen, my favorite chess player, exemplifies self-confidence admirably. He never doubts his abilities and thinks he can accomplish whatever task he sets for himself. His ability to retain attention and concentration over extended periods of time, his ardent drive to win, and his memorization of various masters' games are all qualities that make him good at chess, and I much respected them. His talents have been refined throughout the years by his early start and years of fierce competition.

Everytime you get better at chess, you seek out a new opponent to beat till you do, then you go for another to beat until you learn more and refine your plays. When playing chess, learning and gaining information are always vital. It is not just all about winning it is also about gaining knowledge. Chess teaches you that, just as in life, you must seize opportunities when they arise and that you should never wait too long to act because the ideal moment might never arrive or may arrive too late. You are responsible for creating your own opportunities and letting your skills speak for themselves, whether it be in chess, sports, or other areas of your life.
