To Win or Not That Is The Question
To Win or Not To Win This Is The Question. With no wins there would be little point in playing chess. That is why I gave up on tennis but I did give it up on a high note as my last tennis tournament was my best result of such a class A tournament but I do confess the best players did not come from around all the country.
My last victory was very satisfactory and no this much higher rated player was rated 1245 and it was over from the near beginning I ambushed him he must have been looking somewhere else for an attack but I saw a clear cut path to his throat and my dagger or weapon or the opportunity was at the ready he could have defended and thwarted my check mate but I don't think he even saw it coming. This time my performance was near perfect no flaws in my game no blunders no strategic mistakes no tactical errors just plain simple moves each one counting to move for excellence not for defeat. Opponent probably could clearly see I wasn't setting things up for a quick and decisive check mate which is what really happened. He just forced into doing what I had to do and that was stepping with him each and every step matching step for step feeling no distractions like the previous game. It is the games like this one where I could do no wrong only right which is why I keep playing the game until it isn't fun anymore.
