I wanted to be Table Tennis Player but one day one of my friends gave me a defeat in the 5th move of a Chess Game, which has broken something somewhere deep inside me, and the rest is history.
I have recently gathered 1611 FIDE Rating.!
"Survival of the Fittest" applies solely in this game. Since this is a game of brain, patience and devotion one has to be quite fit to concenterate right from the opening to mid to end game. Game Plan changes with every move on the Board. Even if you plan something but the move of your oponent changes your entire strategy. A blink of your eye or a bit of your ignorance can extend irrepairable loss.
Its only 64 squares with 32 pieces and a Board only, BUT contains the entire universe. ONCE you are deep in the game, you forget rest of the world. this is the truth and sweetness of this game.
It develops and sharpens one's brain and helps one to concenterate not only in studies but in every sphere of life. This game inculcates habbit of weighing pros and cons beforehand in each and every movement/decision than to repent afterwards.
Precisely, Masters always feel on top of the world.
