Chess is the ultimate game of strategy.  It has been called the “game of kings” and that is the truth.  Have you ever played a game of chess with a very good player ?  A player who is planning 10 moves ahead…….

If you have, then you know how hard it is to strategize at that level.  Most of us can only play one or maybe two moves ahead.  It takes a great chess player to strategize so far ahead in a game that can have so many moves to make with so many pieces on the board.  I know I can maybe try and strategize three moves ahead and I consider myself a good chess player.  I have played hundreds of games on the chess board with many different opponents and I win most of them.  I have even played many hundred games with the computer or video game console and I can win most of those unless I play the “expert” level.

However, if you ever come across a chess master and play on the board with them, then you will know what it is to be whipped.  All you can do is hope the chess master is nice enough not to laugh at your supposed strategy skills.

The only good thing that can come from being whipped by a chess master is you can learn how to play the game better and maybe one day you will be the chess master.
