Hi there.
In this lecture, I would like to conclude the course by wishing you the best with your concentric circles
learning model.
So hopefully in the introduction and the beginner sections of the course, you found useful principles
and philosophies.
In the intermediate sections.
You found more details, more useful exceptions, which extended that theory and position of the life
of modernists, where they extended existing theories for finding useful exceptions for more specific
information in those phases so you can become master of the opening mental game and end game.
There is a famous chess quotation play, the opening like a book, the middle game like a magician,
and the end game like a machine in a way that does reflect that there is a lot more scope for creativity
in general in the middle game.
And that is my favorite part of the game and my favorite part of the game is tactics.
And you see that throughout this course I have put an emphasis on certain things and sometimes are being
conscious of the fact I don't want to make you are too strong in one area at the expense of another.
So hopefully, though, you do have a well rounded foundation, at least in the inner circles of each
phase of the game.
And you do have some outer circles information as well, more specific information and detailed armoury
for your outer circles, and when you look at most of the games and you play chess, you're enriching
these circles throughout your journey of chess.
And I wish you the best in that voyage.
And also to have a thick skin when you lose, try and learn the lessons.
As Capablanca said, the more painful loss, the longer the time control, the more you should relish
fighting even deeper lessons and understanding of the game and enriching your circles even more.
Maybe, you know, a single painful loss can enrich your opening knowledge, your mental game understanding
and even your end game understanding.
Sometimes if you did lost the game.
So try and enrich these circles all the time.
Each game is like a learning vehicle.
Each master that you study in their games and the model games you find, you know, the established
exponents of particular openings, whatever.
They're going to enrich these circles of understanding as well.
So it's a continual process.
So you can, you know, think of it also as a weak link in a chain model.
You want to be a role, a well-rounded player, and you want to evolve your aspects of the game in relation
to each other.
It's no good being a total opening guru if you're not that good and the game will end game.
So try and keep these circles in some sort of balance.
So there is a chain of circles as well, this weak link in the chain.
But hopefully this course is a very, very good, solid foundation to start you off.
So I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed creating it for you.
Thanks very much.
