Playing Chess The Magnus Carlsen Way
All the serious chess players have heard of Magnus Carlsen. He's the one and only ranked second player in the world once ranked number one. But us the senior chess players we all hear of Bobby Fischer the legend. If I were a serious player I'd be spending more time at it like playing all the time from age five or six. Nevertheless this morning I just felt like playing a game this 1368 rated player and I went at it with him I just was ready to take on anyone not afraid to play anyone no matter what his ratings was so long as he or she wasn't a chess playing machine I get so bored playing those things. So thinking I don't have to be disciplined and regimented to force myself to play chess I just did so the Magnus way and play chess because I felt like it despite the discomfort in my leg and no caffeine yet to start the day. I prefer to do it without caffeine if I can but what I want and what I get are two different things. Am I coming across? Probably not since I haven't had my caffeine but a power nap would explain my lack of endurance to have gone a second game. I'm tired! By the way I beat this opponent clean none of made any errors either that is how tough online chess is. The nerves and the excitement is all part of the game otherwise I'd be a total recluse and just bounce a ball against a wall and do nothing else. Playing new people from all over the world isn't being reclusive. Write that down. I did.
