Video I Made Regarding Chess and its Relation to Life

Wow this video is great! Chess is very similar to life and I never thought about it until this video. Thanks @iamjustinscott...I like how you compared the back row to your assets, like a college education.

Interesting. A game where you're playing yourself...I've never thought of that when comparing the game itself to life. I'll keep that idea in my head and try to put it to use. I already see why it makes sense. There's the current you. Then, there's you again, just at the highest point in life living as you please. The funny thing about chess is that you can apply it anywhere in life. Honestly, I would recommend playing the game if you haven't already. Anyways, nice video.

Interesting thoughts. I've often compared life to a game of Chess, just in different ways. Nicely done!

Yo, yo, yo! I just finished viewing this, and I just have to say, amazing work! I really like how you executed the shots. The analogy is something that I commonly tell people as well, and while we have slightly different explanations, it's still awesome that we share the same sentiments.

In life, like chess, the hardest opponent is yourself. Trying to beat yourself at your own game is like fighting a losing battle. So, I guess the best strategy is to move out of your comfort zone and try things you wouldn't normally do. It's all very complex, and nobody would ever say it's easy. However, the best things in life aren't easy, isn't it? :D

I do, though as I mentioned in a previous reply, I don't visit it often so it might take some time before I get to reply to you. Feel free to leave a message there though, I'll reply to it as soon as I can. I prefer interacting with comments more than chat, as I've felt a bit burnt out during my first months here on chat haha

Also, congrats on the success of this post! This has done better than any of my posts combined so you should be proud of that achievement. Consider this your breakout post, man :D

It's funny because I was just watching something like this the other day. But it was based on how someone can win any game in two moves. Now I'm not much on this game because with out knowing the strategies it's really becomes a thinking game. But I suppose if one wants to grow the muscles in their minds then this would be the game to play.

But I'm pretty sure I'd end up with a 0 - 100 loss record before I get my first win, lol. :)

I always loved a good game of chess. I started playing when I was around 8 or 9. Unfortunately, no one I know really plays, even my wife. Tis a great and timeless game.
