Such an ancient and noble game is Chess. It is to be taken seriously!
"The Game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions; for life is a kind of Chess, in which we have often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with, and in which there is a vast variety of good and ill events, that are, in some degree, the effect of prudence, or the want of it."By playing at Chess I may teach my strategist..
1. Foresight, which looks a little into her future, and considers the consequences that may come from her decisions.
2. Circumspection, which surveys the whole Chess-board or her life around her and what action to take, in relation to the several pieces, and their situation at the present moment.
3. Caution, not to make our moves too hastily. To think first and then to act.
These are the main points or reasons of the game. A game I enjoy and want to teach my 3 year old.
Too young you think?
Well maybe you are right! As my opponent just won't take it seriously! And Why not?
Laugh you may
This is a serious part of learning the Force!
Oh. OK... on ya' bike!
