WEBVTT 00:00.840 --> 00:05.910 Hi there in this election, I want to emphasize to you, chess is supposed to be a gentleman's game 00:06.840 --> 00:10.470 or transwoman game, I have respect for your opponent. 00:10.470 --> 00:11.540 Don't try and distract them. 00:12.570 --> 00:14.340 Don't talk to your friends during the game. 00:15.060 --> 00:16.940 Don't create any noise unnecessarily. 00:17.460 --> 00:18.600 Don't flick your pen. 00:18.600 --> 00:21.540 Don't repeat your fears unnecessarily, unjustifiably. 00:23.010 --> 00:26.220 Just let your opponent play your best, play their best possible game. 00:26.220 --> 00:27.170 If you lose, you lose. 00:27.180 --> 00:29.580 You can learn from your loss after. 00:30.090 --> 00:33.780 And it's like having the privilege of playing a stronger opponent than you did. 00:34.230 --> 00:40.470 You really want to play, in fact, the strongest possible opponents, you know, some grandmasters 00:41.010 --> 00:48.000 like Grandmaster Nowitzki, he's doing exceptionally well, as well as being a grandmaster in any form 00:48.000 --> 00:48.570 of the game. 00:48.570 --> 00:51.600 But when he was young, he would seek the strongest possible. 00:51.600 --> 00:58.860 Opponents don't have this attitude of trying to disable the opponent so you can just win that particular 00:58.860 --> 00:59.310 game. 00:59.310 --> 01:02.050 Every game you play is a learning experience. 01:02.050 --> 01:03.960 I have respect for your opponents. 01:04.680 --> 01:07.140 Don't annoy them even if you're losing. 01:07.540 --> 01:08.670 Don't be so desperate. 01:09.210 --> 01:12.330 The opponent is giving you a learning experience. 01:13.320 --> 01:16.440 Not everything is about the points, not everything's about the money. 01:17.550 --> 01:22.680 Some of my courses I've done are, you know, because I want to learn about Fisher. 01:22.770 --> 01:27.030 You know, I you know, I don't you know, I want to learn about this. 01:27.030 --> 01:28.830 And I thought it's a good, good reason. 01:28.840 --> 01:29.580 The win win. 01:29.580 --> 01:31.170 I want to learn sometimes as well. 01:31.530 --> 01:36.120 Sometimes you want to play chess to elevate your chess is not just all about the points and it's not 01:36.120 --> 01:37.980 all about money in real life. 01:38.610 --> 01:40.740 These are external, extrinsic things. 01:42.090 --> 01:44.070 Sometimes you want to look at the internal quality. 01:44.070 --> 01:50.250 You'll get sometimes the most satisfying things internally from internal quality of things. 01:51.030 --> 01:58.290 When you learn everyone has that luxury usually of not having to get a job immediately. 01:58.290 --> 02:00.480 We go into education when we play. 02:00.480 --> 02:05.400 Chess is an education to play against an opponent and you're not distracting them. 02:05.400 --> 02:06.570 You're not being annoying. 02:08.400 --> 02:14.400 So don't annoy the opponents and there have been some historic matches which have even ridiculous things 02:14.400 --> 02:18.530 going on, like Petrosian against cautionary, they're kicking each other under the table. 02:18.540 --> 02:20.790 No, you can't kick the opponent under the table. 02:20.910 --> 02:22.200 It's against the rules. 02:23.220 --> 02:26.250 And by the way, don't even take your phone to the venue. 02:26.250 --> 02:30.810 If that makes a noise, you forfeit the game under FDA rules and most normal tournament rules. 02:31.020 --> 02:32.820 Keep your phone at home. 02:35.430 --> 02:38.190 So, yes, respect the opponents. 02:38.790 --> 02:41.530 If you're losing your losing, you lose. 02:41.700 --> 02:42.810 Find out later. 02:42.810 --> 02:48.450 You do a so-called post-mortem analysis, post-mortem analysis. 02:48.900 --> 02:51.760 Later, you'll find the lessons to be learned. 02:52.080 --> 02:53.340 You do those lessons. 02:53.820 --> 02:59.910 Your goal is to improve your chest, your chest, understanding that results come later, your chest 02:59.910 --> 03:04.770 understanding is your internal quality, your results or your external quality. 03:05.430 --> 03:07.860 This is true of everything you learn. 03:09.510 --> 03:12.480 Some people just want to become programmers for the sake of becoming programmers. 03:12.480 --> 03:15.690 Nowadays, when I was a programmer, I like programming. 03:16.050 --> 03:21.000 You know, sometimes you want to do things because you're interested in doing those things, not just 03:21.000 --> 03:21.900 for the externals. 03:22.350 --> 03:23.790 So that's the mindset. 03:24.030 --> 03:25.500 Have respect for your opponent. 03:25.500 --> 03:27.390 Let them play their best possible game. 03:27.390 --> 03:28.320 If you lose, you lose. 03:28.320 --> 03:29.400 You learn from your losses. 03:29.640 --> 03:35.940 The more painful the loss, the more soul searching you do to find conclusions. 03:35.940 --> 03:40.050 Philosophy's idea is to make you stronger later value. 03:40.050 --> 03:47.130 Your internal quality results are nice, but you know, unless your professional plan, you really need 03:47.130 --> 03:48.810 to win that game for the money. 03:49.200 --> 03:53.850 Then, while you're an amateur player especially, it should all be about the learning, the fun, the 03:53.850 --> 03:57.120 experience of meeting people, the venue, etc.. 03:57.540 --> 04:01.770 Don't put off the opponents unless it's in the rules of chess. 04:01.770 --> 04:05.850 If you look at the feet, a handbook, you know, it says not to annoy opponents, make unnecessary 04:05.850 --> 04:07.800 noise, etc. It gives them examples. 04:08.160 --> 04:11.430 OK, that's care and so much.
