CHESS
In my opinion chess is the most beautiful art performed by two
opponents, however physically crippled they may be, provided they are
not intellectually crippled .In other words chess should be a play of
intelligence performed by two sensible opponents. This art improve
our two modes thinking, the divergent thinking and the convergent
thinking and a dynamic equilibrium between the two modes will be
attained at the later stage when we are more and more proficient in
this art. Divergent thinking helps us to search the variety of moves
suitable in a particular position and by convergent thinking we are
able to select the most appropriate move. Our personality will also
be developed if we consider chess seriously and aesthetically as an
art of sportsman spirit. According to me this is an art which should
be activated in being mode but not in having mode. Novel and novel
microcircuits will be opened in the brain if we approach chess in
being mode of awareness and the result will be a pleasant and
delightful experience.
The art of chess is classified into three phases
(1)OPENING
This
phase is controlled by the following strict rules
1.Capturing of the Centre of the by pawns
2
Activation of knight
3.
Pushing of the pawns without interrupting the mobility of the pieces
4.
Acquisition of the safety of king by early castling.
5.
Prohibition of the repeated move of the same piece.
The
ability of the opening should be developed in the preliminary stage
by learning by heart all the lines of a particular opening opted by
the player up to 15 or 20 moves.
(2)MIDDLE
GAME
This
phase is completely controlled by the intellectual and logical
capacity of the player and there are no strict rules in phase. Here
the previously mentioned two modes of thinking should be operated
elegantly.
(3)ENDGAME
The
end game expert Silman has the opinion that the end game should be
practiced as we practice the multiplication table.
Here I have nothing to say about the end other than suggesting
practicing the ‘Silman’s complete endgame course’.
