It was amazing, I tell you, I had not only forged a better relationship with
my coach (International Master - rating 2000-2100 [ownage!!!]), but also learnt
tactics and many analyzed games that would take me months to accomplish.
Also, it was a 1 1/2 hours lesson, but he thought me 45 minutes extra, because
we both enjoyed talking about chess and openings. I am astounded that I
have such a brilliant and kind coach --who is though strict and fierce, which is exactly
a coach I wanted to help me improve tremendously.
I very enjoy chess, I went for a camp once, with average players, woke up 5 am in the morning,
and sneakily played with my friend. We also studied games, and played chess till 11 pm everyday. I also challenged grandmasters!!! but obviously lost badly. Still, I love chess!
Chess depicts life, think of it, there is the opening, middlegame and endgame, each equally important, and none can survive without the other. Strategies and tactics lurk in every corner,
waiting to be exploited, value of pieces due to its mobility, sacrifices, checks... Same like life, we have to be strong in our opening stages of life, stay strong and make the right decisions during the middle phrase of our life, where we blossom like a growing flower, and fantastic when we are older. We have to plan and strategize every move we make, a blunder may cost us dearly.
My father always tells me this, whenever I do something stupid or make a mistake. Its just like chess, you cannot expect someone to allow you to take back a move when you played it, you have to suffer the consequences. If people allow you to take back moves, whats chess [life] for?
I am improving my chess every single day, I never slacken or weep because of my lost every again. Chess ftw!
