Hi there in this election, I want to emphasize to you, chess is supposed to be a gentleman's game
or transwoman game, I have respect for your opponent.
Don't try and distract them.
Don't talk to your friends during the game.
Don't create any noise unnecessarily.
Don't flick your pen.
Don't repeat your fears unnecessarily, unjustifiably.
Just let your opponent play your best, play their best possible game.
If you lose, you lose.
You can learn from your loss after.
And it's like having the privilege of playing a stronger opponent than you did.
You really want to play, in fact, the strongest possible opponents, you know, some grandmasters
like Grandmaster Nowitzki, he's doing exceptionally well, as well as being a grandmaster in any form
of the game.
But when he was young, he would seek the strongest possible.
Opponents don't have this attitude of trying to disable the opponent so you can just win that particular
game.
Every game you play is a learning experience.
I have respect for your opponents.
Don't annoy them even if you're losing.
Don't be so desperate.
The opponent is giving you a learning experience.
Not everything is about the points, not everything's about the money.
Some of my courses I've done are, you know, because I want to learn about Fisher.
You know, I you know, I don't you know, I want to learn about this.
And I thought it's a good, good reason.
The win win.
I want to learn sometimes as well.
Sometimes you want to play chess to elevate your chess is not just all about the points and it's not
all about money in real life.
These are external, extrinsic things.
Sometimes you want to look at the internal quality.
You'll get sometimes the most satisfying things internally from internal quality of things.
When you learn everyone has that luxury usually of not having to get a job immediately.
We go into education when we play.
Chess is an education to play against an opponent and you're not distracting them.
You're not being annoying.
So don't annoy the opponents and there have been some historic matches which have even ridiculous things
going on, like Petrosian against cautionary, they're kicking each other under the table.
No, you can't kick the opponent under the table.
It's against the rules.
And by the way, don't even take your phone to the venue.
If that makes a noise, you forfeit the game under FDA rules and most normal tournament rules.
Keep your phone at home.
So, yes, respect the opponents.
If you're losing your losing, you lose.
Find out later.
You do a so-called post-mortem analysis, post-mortem analysis.
Later, you'll find the lessons to be learned.
You do those lessons.
Your goal is to improve your chest, your chest, understanding that results come later, your chest
understanding is your internal quality, your results or your external quality.
This is true of everything you learn.
Some people just want to become programmers for the sake of becoming programmers.
Nowadays, when I was a programmer, I like programming.
You know, sometimes you want to do things because you're interested in doing those things, not just
for the externals.
So that's the mindset.
Have respect for your opponent.
Let them play their best possible game.
If you lose, you lose.
You learn from your losses.
The more painful the loss, the more soul searching you do to find conclusions.
Philosophy's idea is to make you stronger later value.
Your internal quality results are nice, but you know, unless your professional plan, you really need
to win that game for the money.
Then, while you're an amateur player especially, it should all be about the learning, the fun, the
experience of meeting people, the venue, etc..
Don't put off the opponents unless it's in the rules of chess.
If you look at the feet, a handbook, you know, it says not to annoy opponents, make unnecessary
noise, etc. It gives them examples.
OK, that's care and so much.
