A Style To Play
Do you want to know about jinxing your favorite hometown team? My father one of the only Chinese football players I knew along with his brother who I just learned was also as good perhaps even better as related by his son-in-law associated with the book on early Chinese immigration into America. Now wait a minute what has this to do with the nerves it takes to play on line chess and getting beat up or win against your opponent? If we can just get there to the point of winning and succeeding without torturing ourselves as I have done what is the problem? It works for the chess champion Magnus Carlsen the talented and very young chess player and he doesn't look like he is at all nervous when he plays chess. I have played the game online some several thousand games as evident and recorded enough to win a little over half my games but these are tough and rugged chess players. What I am learning is to get over the losses fast and move on. I figure if the great genius Bill Walsh could coach the Forty Niners to Super Bowl victories why would his players listen to him coach them when he Bill Walsh was not an exceptional player himself? My objective in this chess blog is to teach chess to my readers so that they can go on and do better than what I could or can do. I personally spoke to Bill Walsh on the air about his style of coaching as opposed to the style of John Madden to fame coach of the Oakland Raiders the town or city where I grew up in. His answer to my question of the style of coaching was an excellent response and I could not forget his answer despite my failure to perform well enough on a cognizant test in order to qualify as a candidate for a brain operation or DBS (deep brain stimulation) which is a treatment for Parkinson's disease. Make no mistake about it a good memory is vital in becoming a chess champion and I do not have that kind of memory which would allow me to dominate my every opponent. The question is can my blog on chess teach chess? Throughout my blogs there is forever the question I pose about what a dynasty is to the Forty Niners as yes I did pose this question to the outgoing former coach Steve Mauriuci; will the Forty Niners see another dynasty? I save myself quite a bit of torture and apprehension by not watching the game live and in fact didn't even know they were playing a crucial game which could quite possibly get them to the finals or to the Super Bowl. Is this a prime example when someone says do not worry be happy?
