Does life, like a chess game, make you pay for every wrong move?

Is Life a Chess Game?

Do you like chess?

I try to play chess myself sometimes.

When I say I play, I don't play with someone, I play on the phone, against the computer, of course.  

Unfortunately, neither girls nor ladies like this game. I tried to teach the little one once, but she was not very interested in it either.

***

The chess expert artificial intelligence on the phone is really smart. 

Of course, I try to play in the most expert mode, I don't enjoy the simple modes that much.

But I have to admit that I win very few of the games I play, so most of the games end up with me losing.

Somehow I manage to beat the AI in some games. 

Sometimes I think it goes in such a way that no matter what it does, it has no chance.

But as I said, I'm in the same situation in most games. No matter what I do, somehow he somehow outsmarts me and beats me, damn it.

I guess I make the wrong moves at the beginning and then I pay for the mistakes I made at the beginning.

***

Isn't life like that?

Sometimes, after some moves we make, there is no going back. No matter how hard you try afterwards, you have already entered that compulsory path, in a sense, you have fallen into a trap. 

Just like in a swamp, the more you endeavour, the deeper you sink.

The result? 

If you are in a game like chess, you lose the game.

But if it is a journey of life, then the situation is much sadder. 

You will probably pay for the wrong moves you once made in one way or another. Even if you don't pay a direct price, you will no longer be able to get to the place you imagined at the beginning, no matter what you do.

***

How do we know which step is the right step and which step is the wrong one?

You don't have enough experience at the beginning of life!

Nevertheless, you will still know how to make the right move in time. You will value the opinions of the experienced people around you.

As if you are playing chess, you will try to figure out the future moves of others. 

If I do this, what will he do? 

If he does this, what will I do next? 

You will think about all these steps well in advance. Then you will take the next step according to the most logical move according to different scenarios.

***

It's really hard. 

First of all, it requires a lot of thinking. 

I don't like to think too much.

I want to live life to my heart's content! Without thinking too much, without pushing myself too hard! Just letting it happen!

Of course, this is a philosophy of life. And some people really live like that.

***

Well, then you'll never succeed in anything in life!

Isn't life a game like chess? What do we live for?

Isn't our goal to be a successful person, to have a good income and live a comfortable life?

I must have the best of everything! If I don't have it, I'll get angry. And if I get angry, it'll be bad! At least I'll ruin it! It has to be the way I want it! I must always win, others must never have a chance to win!

***

To tell you the truth, I don't think life is a game of winning or losing. 

First of all, life doesn't have strict rules like chess.

I think the goal should be to be happy instead of winning. 

Happiness can be achieved in many different ways. Sometimes even a flower or a piece of music can make you happy.

***

Don't make me laugh, for God's sake, that's a poor man's consolation. 

Do you think you can be happy without a good earning?

A good earning requires cunning, it requires knowing how to earn. It requires ambition, most of all it requires good upbringing in time, it requires having opportunities from the family!

***

Yes, life is actually a game of chess. When it is your turn to make a move, you will make your move correctly.

Remember, when it comes to life, everyone is not equal from the beginning like in chess. 

Even in chess, if you start with the whites, you have the advantage of making moves. In other words, whites actually start the game with an advantage in chess.

Who wins and who loses the game depends on whether the move is the right move or the wrong move after each move.

***

Without forgetting, as we started with chess today, sometimes wasting a few moves you make at the beginning puts you on such a path that you cannot recover the game even if you start making the right moves later, and somehow your opponent drags you to checkmate with compulsory moves.

Therefore, making the right move at the right time is one of the rules of this business.

The situation is very similar in real life!

What can I say, I still play chess with that smart artificial intelligence sometimes, sometimes there are games where I can really beat it. When the artificial intelligence is defeated, it really cheers me up, I think that there is nothing that humans cannot do if they want to.

However, when I play the same game for the second time, I see that it has become smarter, it makes such a move again, and the end of the game ends in frustration for me again.

***

I guess that's a way of happiness. The fact that I can beat artificial intelligence, even if it's just a little bit, really gives me a lot of happiness.

Come on, artificial intelligence, are you superior or me! 

I'll beat you, I'll beat you no matter what you do, artificial intelligence, come on, we're playing another game!

The defeated wrestler doesn't get enough of wrestling. 

Make the right moves in your life!
