Chess Ninjas must avoid mistakes & play soundly. We must maintain mental concentration, which requires fighting spirit and physical endurance. All factors that could cause defeat must be understood & overcome. More than merely making moves, or tricking the opponent, we aim to dance with Caissa seamlessly achieving victory.
Chess study can benefit all areas of self-development but only if the student is properly motivated. The skills which should lead one to be more confident and secure are often developed for egotistical reasons creating the opposite effect. Unceasing conflict and competition, with fixations on non-essentials, can consume the misguided. As in other fields, an open minded pursuit of excellence, by understanding the harmonious inter-relation of all factors, is best.
The chess student who diligently pursues excellence in this manner will progressively realise the ultimate secret for becoming invincible - the attainment of the 'eye of the vortex'.They will have a broad perspective and creative vision guided by intuition. Realising the 'equalising injustice of chess' the ability to audaciously attack and tenaciously defend are both perfected. With an open mind and pure heart, spontaneous adaptation to any situation creates opportunities out of danger. Such fighters cannot be surprised.
