Chess: life lessons

Since I can remember I play chess, the tranquility and peace that this game produces me make me prefer it over others: develop memory, survival instinct and bring out your "strategist" side that you did not know you had.

Over the years I have learned that if you stand up for what you believe you will achieve victory and that sometimes it is necessary to make sacrifices to achieve it.

I've learned that if you set your mind to it, you can become whoever you want, just like a pawn when you get to the last square.

And that although many situations will put you in "check" you will find a way to defend yourself. In the end, life is about that: overcoming adversity.

I also learned that although pieces, like people, have value what defines them is their power of attack, teamwork and the ability to overcome everything.

I learned that if the King is alone he can not win the battle, that's why he needs to surround himself with pieces that support him and fight alongside him, that's why you should surround yourself with people who bring you values and not those who take them away

I understood that when you have problems surrendering is not the solution, that you must defend your own, that intelligence is worth more than strength and that even if we do not all walk in the same direction we will always reach the same destination.

Very interesting advice, @hdanay3. It sounds so real.

That's right. Is so real

Very good post, thank you very much for writing and sharing it here on the HIVE blockchain! Very intelligently put together and some truly inspiring lessons we can draw from this complex tabletop game and then apply them in our everyday real life in the real world! I intend to learn chess myself at some point in the future and in this regard I have already bought a chess set, waiting to be opened and played together in good company! All the best, take care, stay safe, keep up the good work, and have an excellent evening along with your close/dear ones! Namaste! 🙏

I hope it motivates you not only to start playing but also in your daily life. I'm sure from now on you will not only see it as a game but as a life lesson. You already have one, so it'll be a lot easier from now on. Thank you for commenting. Best wishes. Namaste!

Great comment! So I will, for certain! I will take it more in a life lesson perspective than a game. I understand what you conveyed! All the best, have a great evening, and namaste!

I'm sure you'll fall in love with the game just like I did. Have a good afternoon. Namaste!

Most definitely, yes! When the time will be right, I will start playing and learning chess as well! Thank you for your good wish! All the best, much health, take care, keep on playing chess, and have a great afternoon! Namaste! 🙏
