Chess Player Are You?

Posted by – October 16, 2009

You know what it takes to be a good chess player? That is the fact that you know how to delineate a mere game from personal ones. It is just a work or a game, and as such, you have to be sports as to whatever may be the result of the same game you are in. In this article, we are going to compare the online chess to the traditional chess game that we used to play. And then if ever, we are going to give the pros and the cons of everything or of both sides.

Let me first discuss with you the benefit that is to be given by the traditional chess game. The traditional game that we are discussing a while ago would entail a lot of good effects on the part of both you and the player or contending party that you have in your front. It gives you one form of happiness or contentment because you see your opponent. You are even able to observe if he is confused, tensed, pressured or does not know what move to make. You may even have some tactics like intimidating him by your acts and deeds, and then acting like you are relaxed and you are not affected by everything that is happening around the game that you are playing with. The same thing does not apply if we are going to take a look at the modern or the new version of game known as the chess. And that is online chess which even tackled and then embraced by most of the teenagers nowadays. But remember that if you are a mother of a kid who just cannot get out of the computer shop, you have to discipline him or her or that you may impose something like penalty on him or her until he knows what seems to be the problem.

In online games like that of chess, you may say that you are a certified player if you can already say that you are able to accept defeat and then move on with another bout or another game together or even as against the other players. There are certain things that you have to consider once you double click the mouse of your computer. The first one is that you are entering the world where different people watches you… yes, because your game may be recorded by the said software and then its result may be published in there and all of these are considered to be one of the great characteristics around you.

Another one that I almost forget to discuss is the fact that it is a mental game and as such, you must squeeze your mind and then let the great ideas and tactics or techniques flow from your mind because it is where you can save your King. Imagine yourself as if you are the leader of a battle of soldiers who fight for one aim and that is to create a good environment for your King and probably his wife, the Queen.
