Chess is recognised as a quintessential game of strategy and planning. In many movies, chess is used to reference, and is associated with personalities that exhibit cunning characters, and those that are also strategic.
A lot of people know and have established that listening to Mozart's songs helps to increase the brain's work as a passive activity. In the same vein, playing chess can be seen as the active version of listening to Mozart.
This kind of analytical thinking, and its use can be adapted and put to use in several areas of our lives e.g. in setting up a company, trading in the stock exchange, task management, planning surprise events, organising team works like hunting or geocaching, effective multitasking or pulling off a practical joke.
Playing chess trains one's brain to understand how moving individual pieces effectively work to achieve a desired goal in the grand scheme. Simply put, it helps a person to understand how little information come together to make up a whole picture, and how a big and complex concept can be divided into simple step-by-step processes.
A person develops quick problem-solving abilities through analysing challenging situations from multiple perspectives, and learning how to overcome them in a variety of ways. One would learn how to predetermine what challenges one might likely encounter down the road and how to counteract them, or devise alternative techniques that will guarantee their success.
Chess also trains and equips a person with foresight and flexibility. In case one is in a tight corner and cannot back out of a difficult situation, the game will equip you to develop the ability to carefully turn the difficult situation around you into a positive and favourable one by considering other options. This quality resonates the message of a famous quote, In every problem, lies a chance. Chess players understand the significance of this quote and its application when at a game of chess, or when conducting their personal business.
As you embark on learning chess and engage in the game with other players, you will come to realise that every player has a unique playing style which gives a glimpse of what their personality is like. For example, someone who often plays on the offensive side is likely to be an aggressive person who has an assertive attitude to life, whereas a person who plays more on the protective side is likely to be on the careful side of life which waits to observe how a predicament will play out before making any move.
Understanding how to read a person's playing pattern is an important aspect of chess just as it is equally important in poker and life generally. Being able to observe people helps you to predict your opponent's next possible move and it also helps you to prepare ahead to counter their move.
In this guide, you will understand how to:
- Quickly and confidently move each piece from Pawn to King.
- Setup the board offhand quickly, and properly every single time.
- Use my step-by-step way for commanding the confusing Knight.
- Harness the energy of your brain to visualise the board, and gain an edge over your opponent.
- Learn the unknown reason why most beginners lose and how to use it in your favor.
- Get a three-question checklist to make sure you don't lose your sides for no reason.
- Blow your opponent's mind! Predict your opponent's strategy three techniques forward, and stop their plan before they even attempted it.
