Playing The More Difficult Players
Chess is like a spoken language there are good players just as there are good speakers in particular languages. The more skilled a player is the better his celebrity status in that field that game he is in the languages a skilled speaker is like a celebrated talk show host or actor. Am I exaggerating? I can only report my experiences to my critics such experiences are not inspirational but what can I say? Nevertheless the other day I played one of the higher rated chess players in a non competitive exhibition ....no....wait....it was for a rated game he took over for a much lower rated player so I figure okay fine I'll meet this guy head on what the heck it is just a game this isn't like I'm meeting a Mack truck head on on the free way. I can't make this comparison as there isn't any? Sorry I just did. Yes I am answering my own questions one that anyone might ask me. Believe it or not getting back to the topic of this entry for today this 1600 plus player I was prepared for I didn't beat him in a sound way but I stole his human side of his self my human side reached for his quest for his psyche that no chess playing machine could produce to date; I made him laugh so hard when I dug in the trenches despite his overwhelming skill or superiority whatever.....and my words came through a comic relief to the routine I will cut your throat before you can but my throat kind of thing. Another way to win is to make your opponent collapse in laughter rolling on the floor(ROFL). He just might award you the game for showmanship or for showing a good show. Women can do it. Bobby Fischer despised women who competed in chess. How far women will take the skill level of chess relative to males I haven't a clue. Stay tuned. Make no doubt about it my ratings for today's entry would have been higher had I posted a good picture illustrating my words. I'm working on it and I do think I am getting better at it. No bragging here just the facts madam.
