Do you want to win? Do you want results? Stay tuned for more.
This coming November,
The Taipan 2025.
So let's talk about the game of Kings and Queens.
International Chess and Chinese Chess
A game that has a winner, a loser and a draw.
In the future, India will be #1 world ranking, followed closely by #2 China in the male category and #1 China and #2 India in the female category, given the current performances of those aged under 21 years. Surprisingly, there is no single category of both sexes because perhaps male and female are classified differently, like gymnastics, weightlifting, and boxing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_rankings
Is there a way to always win a game or a battle?
I will just give you an idea.
The story of a Prince who always raced horses with his King, and always ended up losing no matter which horse or jockey he changed.
The Prince has a very intelligent Spectre at his side who told him:
Always place your weakest horse against the King's best horse, you shall lose;
Always place your strongest horse against the King's medium horse, you shall win;
Always place your medium horse against the King's weakest horse, you shall win.
At the end of the day, it is the total war result that counts.
Historically, only six days after the Battle of Fulford the English forces led by King Harold won an astonishing victory against the Vikings of Harald Hardrada. The outcome was a decisive victory for King Harold II. The Norwegians were caught off guard and all those camped at Stamford Bridge were killed. However, King Harold was then forced to march south to face William's Norman army at Hastings, where he was killed and his forces defeated. I do not really like to play chess, both International and Chinese. But I won in them once in a while. Including 3rd placing in the team open international in the decider, which I won mine. Unlike my teammates who were made up of state and national players, which I chose as the President of the chess society, I dont remember a single move like Gambits and whatnots. I stick to what I know is safe or follow the opponents. And being opportunistic, I take my chances, feign well, feint, and ensure I am if possible, 1 rhythm step in front. My common theme is sacrificial. I don't care for 3 points, 5 points or a loss of a Queen for a pawn. I am there just to win; as a result, that's all that matters. In business, there's also, the use of "feign" and "feint" are related words that share a semantic connection, but they have distinct meanings. "Feign" refers to the act of pretending or faking something, often a feeling or a physical state. "Feint," on the other hand, is a physical maneuver or action, typically in a physical contest like sports or combat, used to deceive or distract an opponent.
For example, if someone is to challenge me on Speed Chess, my objective is not to win the game. My objective is to make sure you lose within 5 minutes. So I can play my pieces very fast, all over the board and my opponent will spend time thinking how to counter me to win the game. By the time the red flag comes down after 5 minutes on your clock, mine is 1.5 minutes into the mark.
