WEBVTT 00:01.210 --> 00:01.850 Hi there. 00:02.950 --> 00:13.480 In this lecture, I would like to conclude the course by wishing you the best with your concentric circles 00:13.660 --> 00:14.770 learning model. 00:15.080 --> 00:22.120 So hopefully in the introduction and the beginner sections of the course, you found useful principles 00:22.120 --> 00:22.870 and philosophies. 00:23.440 --> 00:25.110 In the intermediate sections. 00:25.120 --> 00:32.080 You found more details, more useful exceptions, which extended that theory and position of the life 00:32.080 --> 00:39.220 of modernists, where they extended existing theories for finding useful exceptions for more specific 00:39.220 --> 00:46.380 information in those phases so you can become master of the opening mental game and end game. 00:47.500 --> 00:57.100 There is a famous chess quotation play, the opening like a book, the middle game like a magician, 00:57.220 --> 01:04.660 and the end game like a machine in a way that does reflect that there is a lot more scope for creativity 01:04.660 --> 01:05.860 in general in the middle game. 01:05.860 --> 01:10.270 And that is my favorite part of the game and my favorite part of the game is tactics. 01:10.270 --> 01:15.040 And you see that throughout this course I have put an emphasis on certain things and sometimes are being 01:15.040 --> 01:21.380 conscious of the fact I don't want to make you are too strong in one area at the expense of another. 01:21.610 --> 01:28.090 So hopefully, though, you do have a well rounded foundation, at least in the inner circles of each 01:28.090 --> 01:28.930 phase of the game. 01:31.870 --> 01:41.590 And you do have some outer circles information as well, more specific information and detailed armoury 01:41.950 --> 01:47.770 for your outer circles, and when you look at most of the games and you play chess, you're enriching 01:47.770 --> 01:50.490 these circles throughout your journey of chess. 01:51.490 --> 01:53.890 And I wish you the best in that voyage. 01:54.460 --> 01:58.420 And also to have a thick skin when you lose, try and learn the lessons. 01:58.660 --> 02:04.420 As Capablanca said, the more painful loss, the longer the time control, the more you should relish 02:04.690 --> 02:10.590 fighting even deeper lessons and understanding of the game and enriching your circles even more. 02:10.930 --> 02:16.360 Maybe, you know, a single painful loss can enrich your opening knowledge, your mental game understanding 02:16.360 --> 02:18.040 and even your end game understanding. 02:18.340 --> 02:20.020 Sometimes if you did lost the game. 02:20.590 --> 02:23.200 So try and enrich these circles all the time. 02:24.640 --> 02:26.620 Each game is like a learning vehicle. 02:26.620 --> 02:32.410 Each master that you study in their games and the model games you find, you know, the established 02:32.410 --> 02:34.300 exponents of particular openings, whatever. 02:35.260 --> 02:37.760 They're going to enrich these circles of understanding as well. 02:37.780 --> 02:39.250 So it's a continual process. 02:39.790 --> 02:44.080 So you can, you know, think of it also as a weak link in a chain model. 02:44.530 --> 02:51.640 You want to be a role, a well-rounded player, and you want to evolve your aspects of the game in relation 02:51.640 --> 02:52.220 to each other. 02:52.540 --> 02:57.670 It's no good being a total opening guru if you're not that good and the game will end game. 02:57.700 --> 03:02.200 So try and keep these circles in some sort of balance. 03:02.950 --> 03:06.340 So there is a chain of circles as well, this weak link in the chain. 03:06.820 --> 03:14.440 But hopefully this course is a very, very good, solid foundation to start you off. 03:14.860 --> 03:19.420 So I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed creating it for you. 03:21.430 --> 03:22.120 Thanks very much.
