Certainly many children have the opportunity to know chess in their first years of life, I really would like to think that you are one of the lucky ones, ...... In the world there is no other game that teaches you to have a strategy, value your pieces , defend them and sacrifice them always with the objective of having an advantage over the opponent both in the position of the field as a strategic value and the capture of the rapporteur's piece as a physical value.
One of the most beautiful stories about the origins of chess.
Prince Sirham and Chess.
Tells the story of Prince Sirham, this man, haughty and overbearing, treated his subjects wrongly and incorrectly, as he believed they were of less importance to his kingdom. Then the brahman Sissa, who was the Prince's teacher, invented a game in which the King, despite being the main piece, could not do anything without the collaboration of his alternate subjects. The prince came to play many games with his teacher and I am amazed with this game. He played again and again, until he was convinced that there was no greater wonder on earth. Such joy gave him the game that his teacher had invented, which he simply offered as a prize, whatever he wanted. The simple, humble and astute brahman, wanting to give another lesson to his student and lord, simply asked for a grain of wheat for the first square of the board, two for the second, four for the third, sixteen for the fourth,. . . and so on, always doubling the amount of the previous box, until you reach box sixty-four, the last of the board.
The request seemed modest to the prince and he immediately asked the chief of his barns to give Sissa what he had asked for. But when the wise men of the court calculated the amount of grain of wheat that had to be given to Brahman, it turned out to be the exorbitant figure of 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 grains of wheat. To satisfy this amount, it was necessary to fill more than one hundred and eighty thousand granaries with a unit capacity for one hundred thousand bags of one hundred thousand grains of wheat each. And to produce this amount, it was necessary to plant all the continents of the planet seventy-five times.
When Prince Sirham learned of this, far from bothering, he understood that his teacher Sissa had given him a great lesson. From then on, I moderate his haughtiness, treating his subjects properly and with great benevolence, obtaining from them an excellent benefit for himself and his kingdom.
Reflections of geniuses of humanity (I do not include myself but also some personal ones)
If there is a truth in Chess, as in life, the best move is always the one done! Repentance will never help you, the focus will always be on the next movement adding to this the distrust is the most necessary characteristic of a Chess player will be your true instinct of self-protection alerting you that something is not right and that you must rethink the results premonized by your mind, this does not seem to be very difficult but Chess is a war on a board having no effect on your body but if in your mind that can be crushed, exhausted and exhausted, it is much more than a game is necessary, first of all, know human nature, strengthen your inner capacity and understand the Psychology of the opposite, and keep in mind at all times that we can resist the fascination of a sacrifice since the passion for sacrifice is part of the nature of a Chess player. .......
In each play you make, you show a fragment of your personality, you will not be able to separate your game from your essence, your first enemy will always be your ability to realize how to maintain your consciousness in a moment of despair. Chess serves, like few things in this world, to momentarily distract and forget the worries of daily life. Chess, like all other things, can be learned to a point and not beyond. The rest depends on the nature of the person but what makes chess so special "Chess subsists thanks to the mistakes that are made playing it"
Chess is a useful and honest game, indispensable in the education of youth. Chess teaches thinking ... Chess is as imperative a necessity as literature. When Chess is part of your life, he it helps you
