So You Think Chess Is For Nerds?

Guess again. You're are wrong if you do. Consider the news when a major break through in chess occurs or when a child prodigy emerges beating the experts at the game gaining prominence as the next up and coming grand master in chess. Take a bow to the new born chess king the new kid on the block. I didn't take the game lightly in my last one. The excitement was too much. I might as well been in a SWAT situation in a life or death story rather than the last chess game I played about an hour or less ago. Recuperation was required before I could get a hold of my nerves. I was getting mowed down the first problem was making an error and handing over a pawn. Okay it was just a pawn I could recoup I figured just maybe. I felt some confidence. But I blundered and found out I set myself up which I did by getting out maneuvered losing my bishop where he proceeded to mow down my pawns one by one methodically as I made a one stab long shot chance to coordinate my two rooks for an assassination attempt small chance but worth the while I figured. Magnus currently the number two ranked chess player in the world can calculate nine moves in advance as to what he will do. I'm not going to give anyone first hand advice on that matter because I haven't arrived at that advanced technique of chess play but I could beat a computer when it told me it had three plays or moves locked in and would checkmate me no matter how well I moved to counter. As I was losing pieces I assembled my rooks in place used my king to block an escape route for his king and used my stationary pawn to trap his king as I forced his king with the use of my two rooks to capitulate or check mate his king. It worked. I could not go on to play another second game my nerves were shot my physical and mental energies were depleted and I needed a power nap otherwise I would have fallen on my face just to save my life if the house were on fire.
