โโ Lessons from revisiting Chess โโ Recently, I got the chance to play chess with my friend! It must have been over 6 years since I last played. Here are some of my re-discoveries/takeaways about the game and myself. โโโโ 1. You must balance being in the present, and the future. You have to plan a couple moves ahead, but If you look too far in advance you may not see what the other player is plotting in the moment, and may risk losing a piece. *Side note* There were times in the game where I would accidentally knock my piece down, or start a move and then forget where my piece started. I found this interesting, an indication/sign that I was too fixated on whatโs next and not acknowledging where I have been. 2. See the big picture! You have to make sacrifies, and be okay with your decisions. What are you willing to lose in order to reach your goal? If you donโt get comfortable with losing some pieces you canโt ultimately win. 3. Every piece has a purpose, and is valuable. Understanding how to use those pieces synergistically and in coordination with each other, is how you can build a strong strategy. Remember, it is only the Pawn that can bring your Queen back! โจItโs not so hard to see how the points above can be applied to our lives, when we are in the midst of pressure, or stressful times. I am very thankful to re-experience chess and to integrate and acknowledge some of my patterns, and traits. And also chess is just super F U N - hit me up if you want to play sometime :) Check โ
