Chess is, on the one hand, a meditative process that allows you to turn off everything external and focus on a calm, measured game, but, on the other hand, it is a great way to train your brain and develop skills. changes. And chess, like any other serious game, has unwritten rules, following which you can become a winner.
There are also rules that can be applied not only in the game, but also in life:
Lots of options. In any situation, there are many different options for the development of events, and if you want to win, you must at least imagine and provide for several of them at once. As a rule, the most obvious option happens not in 99% of cases (as you think), but in 50% of cases.
Patience. As they say, the quieter you go, the further you will go. Don’t make rash actions or attacks, learn to wait, and you will achieve success. As the old Chinese wisdom says: “If someone has done you wrong, do not try to take revenge on him, sit on the bank of the river, and soon you will see the corpse of your enemy floating past you on the water.”
View from the outside. If you try to put yourself in your opponent's shoes and figure out why he makes certain moves or what scheme he is trying to play, you can understand how to counter him more effectively. If you are so engrossed in your own moves and do not notice those around you, then in the end you will miss the fatal blow.
Winner's mindset. Think positively and expect only to win, without making empty moves. Let your moves lead to mistakes, but they should all be aimed at results. A waste of time can only be justified in one case: if it is part of your cunning plan.
Gratitude. Thank your opponent for his smart moves and don’t hide your pleasure from a good game, and then you will receive the same attitude in return. Don't let your pride get in the way of your wisdom.
The ability to lose. Know how to lose a single game, and you will never lose in life as a whole; you will simply start a new game and win it, taking into account previous mistakes. It is not the one who is stronger who wins, but the one who goes to the end. Be philosophical about this.
Pleasure. Live playfully and enjoy the very progress of the game, because it is the process of moving towards the goal (both in the game and in life) that gives the greatest pleasure. You gain new experiences, new skills, reasons to be happy and sad. Victory is just a short, albeit very joyful moment, but, in my opinion, it’s not very healthy to live when the bulk of the pleasure in life comes only from these short-lived moments of victory.

- The whole world is a chessboard. The player on the other side of the board is hidden from us. We know that he always plays fair, that he is always fair and patient. But we also know that he will never miss a mistake on our part, that he will never accept our ignorance of the rules as an excuse. - T. Huxley.
- Chess in the evening. - L. Tolstoy (from the Diary).
- In life, unlike chess, the game continues after checkmate. - A. Azimov, science fiction writer.
- In life, the rules are not as simple as in chess. We do not always know what irreversible consequences our decision may lead to. * Sometimes the situation is obvious, and in other cases you have to rely on intuition. It is always worth asking ourselves if we can correct the mistake if our decision turns out to be wrong. Will we have a choice if things take a bad turn? Is there an alternative course and a different perspective? This approach requires us to exercise restraint when we feel the desire to cut the Gordian knot in order to free ourselves from tension. Many unsuccessful decisions were caused by the desire to quickly get rid of the responsibility for making them. These are unforced errors, the worst kind of consequences of haste. - G. Kasparov “Chess as a model of life.”

- If you hunt wild animals just for sport, you don't want the kill to come easy. On the contrary, you like a duel with a fast and resourceful beast, because there is no pleasure in reprisal against a defenseless creature. A similar interest fuels a chess player who takes on the task of solving a chess problem. He wants to solve it, but at the same time he instinctively wants to experience torment to the last. He doesn't want the easy way out at all. False leads that can confuse even an experienced solver only add to the pleasure of discovering the only solution. A good chess composer knows about this instinct and strives to satisfy it... - E. Lasker.

The prevailing ideas that chess allegedly arose as a game model of warring armies are erroneous. Chess is a model of social life.
Chess pieces are like people: each person behaves differently. Some are looking for the best move, others for the best plan. There is an analogy between chess and human relationships. During a chess game, a peculiar conflict situation arises. Moreover, quite often it goes beyond the purely formal movement of pieces on the board and, as it were, goes over to the personalities of the players. Life, like a chess game, develops in accordance with the principles of strategy and tactics. Chess teaches us how our lives could turn out given equal opportunities and without chance. If a game of 40 moves is compared to a human life of 80 years, then the loss of tempo is equivalent to the loss of two years of life.
Chess is closely intertwined with life. Some terms that were once purely chess terms have become commonly used words: variation, opening, time trouble, forcing. The interaction of people with each other can be thought of as a chess game. Life is like chess - it is a non-standard task. Both in chess and in life, non-trivial actions often lead to success. The world of chess is extremely conventional, but many patterns of the real world in which we live are repeated in it. The same countless number of situations, the same uncertainty of ways to achieve the goal. Just as a chess piece has relative strength, so a person has a certain significance.
We know many cases where a person achieved success when he made a brilliant sacrifice (gift, service, money) at the right time in the right place. Behind the chess terms is the real social world. Behavior, interaction, needs, intentions, relationships, plans, assessments, ambitions, motives, mistakes of people - all this reflects the language of chess.
This is what chess terms mean. White and black - 1. Ours and others. 2. Man and woman. 3. Parents and children. 4. Boss and subordinate. 5. Competitors. 6. Rivals.
Queen - 1. Significant person. 2. Director. 3. A person endowed with great power.
Rook - 1. An adult. 2. Strategist. 3. Influential person.
Elephant - 1. Boy, girl. 2. Tactician. 3. A person with little power.
Shah - 1. Dissatisfaction, remark, distrust, warning, reproach, insult, threat. 2. Alarm signal. 3. Ambition.
Middlegame - Development of interaction (relationships) between people. Endgame is the end of interaction (relationships) between people.
Gambit is an invitation to establish a relationship, accompanied by gifts, money, and services. Field control - 1. Insight into the partner's intentions. 2. Observation (surveillance) of the actions, behavior and/or speech of the partner.
Demarcation line - 1. Established relationships between people without the right to change them. 2. Boundary in relationships between people. 3. Zone of influence.
Of great interest are chess phrases - models of life situations. Transformed into everyday life, they can have the most beneficial effect on regulating human behavior. Here's what some chess phrases sound like in everyday context:
It is very useful to try to throw off the burden of already found options, assessments and opinions and look at the situation with a fresh look, the look of an outside observer, change the perception of this situation, trying to think and find new ideas that have not been considered before.
It was necessary to understand, not in words, but in deeds, that there are no boring tasks and activities, but there is an inability to find interest in a task, there are boring people (boring game).
But what kind of life is this (chess) - without risk, without a battle of nerves, without the whimsical turns that fate chooses in interaction with other people?! After all, your partner, no matter how deep and carefully thought out, can be opposed by an equally cunning one! This means that if you want to achieve something in life, take risks!
So, there is no absolutely error-free life (game). And defeats, sad as it may be, accompany everyday reality, so only those who can find a way to successfully interact with other people, firstly, make their thinking as reliable as possible (then the number of failures will be reduced), and, secondly, overcome consequences of failure with minimal nervous and material losses.
Everyday business (party) is a continuous chain of tactical actions connected by strategic plans.
Don't waste your time on scams (debut traps). A scam is good once in a lifetime. Others won't fall for it. It is worth working on creating entire systems that are focused not so much on immediate profit (debut), but on the middle of life (middlegame) and even the future (endgame).
The ability to have time to make all the necessary preparations (useful moves) before the onset of undesirable, but very real events, greatly simplifies the achievement of success. Having an alternate airfield (window) is extremely important when a conflict begins.
My most difficult opponent is me. In life, I often involuntarily exaggerate the significance of something or someone, turn it into something super-significant, and exaggerate the difficulties facing me.
We should not forget that human interaction (chess) is a confrontation. It unfolds at the will of two partners (a man and a woman, a boss and a subordinate, competitors), each of whom pursues his own goals and strives in every possible way to prevent the achievement of the goals of his rival.
At the end of the excursion, I give a chess commentary on parent-child relationships. Negligent Son - Parent During a game between a parent and a negligent son playing with white pieces, a position arose in which a white knight attacked a black rook, threatening to knock it down (insolent). Standing and waiting for the plans of a negligent son to be implemented is a difficult task. Therefore, Black himself begins counterplay. Taking advantage of the home preparation, the parent makes an intermediate move with the bishop (strategist). Once White is tempted by the rook, the breakthrough will turn out in Black's favor. The careless son, without further ado, grabbed the black rook with his knight (careless). But now, after the bishop moved, the position has changed. The initiative of the careless son has dried up. You can see how poorly his figures are positioned. Bishop pressure and pawn assault turn against them. The initiative passed to the parent. He fianchettas the bishop and occupies the center with his pawns (almighty). A bold and completely correct decision. The next move, the careless son attacked the black queen with his rook (trepat), but did not notice the fork, which the parent immediately made. It was a check by the bishop with a simultaneous attack on the rook (almighty).
As with everything in our lives, there are many reasons why we deviate from our strict obligations. But these exceptions are rare, and it is a fact that a chess bishop, aimed along a good long diagonal at the opponent’s king and rook, is better than any rook and knight. The negligent son went as king to square d1 (dissatisfied). The parent took the rook (pilot of the family ship) as his bishop. What is this? The parent offered the queen's sacrifice to his negligent son (an ironic instigator). Tricky move! Black takes the bishop away in advance and pretends that he is going to vigorously object with a perpetual check. If the parent's thirtieth move was a small surprise, then the 31st caused a real stir among the spectators and commentators.
So that's what it's all about! The bishop knocked down the rook to gain time for the concentration of heavy pieces along the d vertical. The careless son became nervous. He grabs the black queen (parasite). A gross miscalculation. The analysis showed that White's position was hopeless. An attempt to muddy the waters by capturing the queen leads nowhere. The parent carries out a combination and checkmates the careless son. A good example of coordinated, friendly work of black pieces and pawns.
Chess is a board game that we all know very well. But you probably haven’t thought about the fact that chess is very similar to our lives. What can they tell you about her?
What do the rules of the chess game say?
- White goes first
Black people are allowed by the rules to mostly respond - it's sad, but this still happens in modern society.
- Castling
Management never fights in the forefront.
- Taking on the pass
When your opponent quickly progresses and gets level with you, standing shoulder to shoulder, you can step over him to settle the score with him and gain an advantage.
- Victim
You must be willing to give up the things you love most in order to ultimately succeed in life.
- Accommodation
The knight in the corner of the board is a lost knight. If you don't give your most valuable employees what they need, they will be useless and likely leave you eventually.
- Move a pawn
The poorest and weakest are most often targeted and suffer the greatest losses.
- Pawn Cohesion
If there is disagreement and inconsistency in economically weak areas, this is evidence of impending doom.
What do chess pieces teach us?
- Pawn becomes queen
A small person can become great if he is persistent.
- King
The ruler is weaker than he should be.
- Queen (queen)
Even though women are much more powerful, they should be selfless and always keep the welfare of men in mind.
- Pawns
If your team doesn't care about ordinary people, it won't last long.
- Rook at the end of the game
The quietest people, the ones you don't expect anything from, can often be the most reliable and helpful.
- Double rook
It is more beneficial for the team if you encourage bright individuals to be together, rather than separate them.
- Queen (queen) and bishop
To get closer to the big man, you either need to be his wife, or be ready to cross swords with anyone for him.
- Lots of queens
The king is allowed to have several wives. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Qualities that chess develops
- Foresight
To achieve long-term success, it is important to learn to plan ahead.
- Impassivity
It is very important that your opponent never sees you suffer. In battle, hide your weaknesses.
- Time control
If you don't value time, you won't be successful, no matter your strengths.
Benjamin Franklin said: “Life is like chess, in struggle, competition, good and bad events.” Perhaps now you understand better what he meant.
