Try to lose

Life is synonymous to a game, where the probability of losing does exist. As a coach for chess and trained several minds for years, I share my experience to the upcoming players of chess.
Chess is a game where the use of intellectual power is very high, so when another intellectual power beats you it feels like you are worthless. You need to come up with some excuse to recover from it, otherwise you can end up losing all your self-esteem and become a psychological mess.

What are the ways to cope up with such a mess ?
Know the fact that there is no eternal player , who can only win and win for ever throughout his life. The vice versa is also true. The time pressure can pull any player down. “I would usually comment that “ Winning and losing has a difference of one move”. If one player has given one wrong move in chess- a mistake/ inaccuracy / blunder out of a miscalculation, he/she has more chance to lose the game. This does not ever mean that the player is inferior. Say to yourself that, the other player has prepared more. You could also pat your back “ hey c’mon, you will win next game. This is not only applicable to chess, or a particular game ,even in real life, it is the simple decision, activity, that may pull us down.

How to train your mind?
Try to lose more games, that your ego will come down and say “ Better players do exist “.
Losing is the indication for us to work more. It is only temporary.

Secondly, only the person in the hot sun realizes the importance of the shelter. The taste of win will be better only you lose more, needless to mention that your effort need to be added every time you lose and upgrade yourself.

In chess, the software available now are able to make a move in nano seconds, can you say that they are superior than you? They are superior in moves and decisions and nothing more. Humans are humans, their capabilities are different. Understand and move on. Every time you lose , either in the game or in a position at life , understand it is the time to put more of your efforts, “That’s all”. Lose more-WIN MORE THAN YOU LOSE

Eager to know about Lucena position

One of the most interesting and the tricky position in chess is the Lucena position.
Observe this
1.Queening pawn is in the 7 th Rank.
2.The defending king is at a distance of one file
3. both the sides have a rook.
4.Whites rook is cutting off the defending king , which is a positive sign

The difficulty:- King cannot move out of its 8th rank square and hence the pawn cannot be promoted.

1. Push the king another file away.

2. Build a bridge! (Most Important Move.)

3. Zigzag your king behind the pawn in the same file.

4. Use your rook to complete the bridge!

The Tournament Day

It is indeed a fantastic moment for all our academy students !. We made mandatory for all our academy students to participate in the second online tournament  today -10 April 2020 @ 1 pm.

The learnings , the game tension and overall enjoyment to play with all their fellow learners  were  able to be sensed in each child. Especially in the period where the children  were not allowed to go outside their home , this was a surprise and  happiness.

While all of the players showcased their talent, few of the games were really outstanding. I am sure that all of them have learnt from their mistakes and also from the strength of the opponent players.I congratulate all the players who have participated. More to go...

As I usually comment---NEVER GIVE UP.............
