Chess Principles Applied to Life

Sort:
CaribbeanChess
I read this book called the Tao of Chess many years ago and I thought it was great. It took some of the common chess principles and talked about how it could apply to your every day life, business strategy, etc.

It made me think about in analyzing my Chess games how could I create a connection between the things that I’m learning on the chessboard and bettering myself day to day.

What principles do you think could be taken from Chess and applied to your life?

Looking for general life strategies. 😃

Now that I've learned chess, whenever I bump into someone I say "J'adoube." And I never touch a woman unless I intend to move her

I have written several letters to the National Trust in the UK asking that all medieval 'castles' be correctly renamed rooks. But I have yet to receive any replies SMH.

The Queen is happier mating with Knights than the King.

Lesson. Prefer Bishops over Knights.

I disagree, bishops walk awkwardly in diagonal lines only and have a higher predilection for paedophilia than the average human. Also their entire existence is based on a fiction.

Just don't leave your kids alone with the bishop. Don't let them join the choir or Sunday school.

Alcoholics too I might add. A recent study by the Wine Institute found that the Vatican has the highest consumption of wine per person in the world, roughly 105 bottles per person each year. Explains the diagonal walking...

LOL! What does Knights consume to explain their L movement?

Ketamine I guess.

Nice! 2 bottles of Kwak and I am walking like a knight and a bishop all at the same time. When I'm drunk they call me 'the variant'.

After a Victory, don't accept Rematch. After a losing streak, don't ask for rematch .(Pertaining to gambling)

Play by the laws. No illegal moves. From Traffic to Tax filing.

Never resign. Play till checkmate. Quitters never win. Winners never quit.
