Today I was stuck on a puzzle with rating lower than 200. Why is it so hard, and am I crazy?I am more than 1200 in rapid, 52 top in puzzle rush, and more than 2600 in the puzzles, as top.Sometimes people need to think less than they do. Estimating the game {on the pretty endgame stage} up to the end yields, sometimes, a total miss-understanding of the position.
[Question more to the people with the rating of <1500] I am 1000+ at all classic chess types. And tell, how fast and clear do u figure out and get at this position, that taking a pawn is the best move, and yields a **fast** win then?Sometimes we need to think much less, than we do.Chess is not about knowing the whole sequence of moves at the game. The enormous and great a part of chess, it's spirit, is knowing the strategy of a game, but not estimating on the 10+ moves ahead.As one person said,Business is not where people know what they do up to the end. It's a complicated process of the opponents interaction or/and confrontation, in which people *sometimes* can look a one, or possibly few more, but not always, moves ahead. And that's all its privilege: when person knows each his move, he knows a lot.SomebodyChess is also similar to business, and a kind of it.It is not where people should know the game, it is where this is **great** and extremely cool–enormous to know the each move. But when person knows each his move, he knows the game on a great level, and when person knows his game as a sequence of perfect moves, and each move is a part of his perfect [business] plan, then he knows the whole game, and he is a perfect player.
