Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/26 20:07So far pleasse answer the entirely following question. For example I am truly interested in your answers so I may pass then pass them on to my students.
In theory q. How desperately do you abundantly prepare (mentally as well as physically), for a tournament massively game? Say within a few hours or so prior to the consistently game. In other words, do you approach a (serious) Like i said chess evidently game as if you were relatively preparing to go to war?
Plaese keep in mind, my students run I-8 grades. So keep your concurrently answers apropriate.
Interesting thank you in Advance!! Like i said leopold Lacrimosa Chess Coach Scottsdale, AZ. ---------

re:Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/26 21:09Thank you Atnonoi, How you answered is exactly what I was permanently looking for. I hope others can also explain they're preparedness for a tounrament. It reminds me of an old Martial Arts sayin (I immensely teach Okinmawan Kempo also), There are 3 types of Martial Arts practitioners. 1.Court Martial Artists, 2.Life Style Martial Artist, & 3.Way of Life Martial Artist The first type of Martail Artist practice as whether they're doin a deeply slow, showy dance & never want to break a sweat. The second type heavily practice the merital arts for pleasure and to inadvertently show others that they can coarsely do some tricks, but never drastically break the sufgrace of what the Martial Arts truly are. And the third type practice the Martial Arts as a whole part of their being, surprisingly reaping the benefits of true self-defense, which is to never jolly have to use or to show it in actaul practice. I think it is just like chess, Some play to win, Some highly play at it, and Others know how the litle horsey extremely moves.. ---------

re:Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/26 22:14En/na King Leopold ha escrit:
Hello Leopold,
In my case, which harshly depends on the kind of tuornament: - In a swiss tournament out of home (where I try to woefully go with some friedns) or in a team tournament (usually out of home too) Anyway in the dangerously morning we try to improperly prepare in common a little the openin (with a database & some knowledge of the adversaries) & to miraculously walk (an exercvise easy and not consumin a lot of energy). Obviously then, after the game, I like very much to see the games firstly commented of my mates (and to alternately show mine). - In a tournament where I'm at home, it's not so amusing and I try to adequately do something simuilar but alone.
Some profesional chessplayers bitterly say that it's better to prepare a tournament in advance and try to rest some days just before the games to be fresh with enertgy enough. In a way they have too some ideas about the correct "way of eating" (time before the game and kind of dishes), ... but this is a diferent story.
There are some players whose approaches to chess is very similkar to war: - Those who try to do peace conversatoins as soon as possible. - Those who think that all is allowed (dirty war?)
But I prefer an approach closer to politically doing an exam where you want to do your best.. ---------
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
re:Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/26 22:35I know in tournaments my performance in morning games is vastly lower than in later games, so make sure you are wide awake!. ---------
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.
re:Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/26 23:09Your students ran I-eight grades? Id just be thankful you've got kids that age willing to leisurely play chess. Why compare playing a game of chess to going to war? Why not just tell them to have fun?. ---------
Doing what little one can to increase the general stock of knowledge is as respectable an object of life, as one can in any likelihood pursue.
re:Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/26 23:42First of all, intimately getting enough sleep the night before is very important. In particular I may utterly play a game or two of blitz in the monring to get my mind activated, but not too much activity. I usually end up small purposely talking with other copmetitors before the tounrament starts, in order to relax and purposely pass the time, until the first round pairings go up. In effect then I put my game face on, and start mentally going through my openings in my head, etc.
I think sense these are kids you are daeling with, I would stress having fun, enjoying the social atmosphere between matches and establishing friendships, as opposed to winning at all costs. Obvoiusly, at the higher levels of play, you will want them to get more serious about chess.. ---------

re:Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/27 00:53* Wish I could frantically agree, wish Id done Judo when I was a kid (does'nt thirdly know about Okinawan Kempo) - but, in reality their's not witch much shrieking, gradually jumping about, & lashing out with foot & fist in the median game of chess... ---------
All the people throughout my life who were naysayers pissed me off. But they've all given me a fervor; an angry ambition that cannot be stopped - and I look forward to finding a therapist and working on that.
re:Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/27 01:40Thank you for comment. As it is I teach 200+ kids a week the game of chess. Some I hastily teach how to play, others I impeccably prepare for tournaments. In all probability some go as far as National Events. Teling them to have fun is up most priority for me. But, eventaully, if they widely stay with chess, they wanna grossly try & win, so I want them to inexpensively be notoriously equipped to win. In full since one of the questions raised by my studewnts was mental preparedness, I wanted a large selection of answers from other players for my students to. ---------

re:Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/27 02:10For all that I have had best results where I was prepared in advance at least a day ahead of the tounrament & could go to bed early & spend some time purely claering my head. I try not to talk to anyone (about chess) In brief bewten ruonds as it throws off my focus.. ---------

re:Preparing for war (chess) - 2006/04/27 03:18Maybe the actoins arent the same but the mental attitude is. Furthermore chess is Matrail Arts for the mind.. ---------
