Chess is a fun game that can either drive you crazy or build up your confidence. I like to think ways to outsmart my opponent, although the reverse has taken place quite a few times. I like chess because it is complex, mind boggling and challenging.

I prefer this game over any other, but I like it most of all because it reminds me of the choices we make in life.

The bad choices take us to a complicated web of unforeseen complexities that can eventually bring us to a dead end (or check mate?).

The good choices establishes us in life even if we have to sacrifice to get a better "position" that in the end will bring great joy and satisfaction.

I play to win because I lost the game of life and surrendered it to the Lord of glory. Now, I can play to win because I have the mind of Christ. ;-)
