You should play chess!!!!! Chess can help you in a lot of situations. It can improve your mind, it can make your memory expand, it can help to plan out what you are going to do next, it helps you to meet new people, it helps you to learn how to get along with people that are different then yourself, it helps you to follow directions, and it helps you to maintain focus!!!!!!!!! There are many moves to learn. You have to keep your brain very alert. You should learn to listen and to pay attention to your chess teacher, if you have one. I DO! Want me to tell you what some of the hardest chess tournaments are? I'll let you in on a little secret. They are.... the Nationals, the States, the City Championships, and the hardest tournament of them all is... The Super Nationals. Even though I have never been to the Super Nationals before, my friends told me that it was the hardest chess tournament in their whole entire life. So that is how I learned (partly learned) about chess tournaments. Never give up on anything that you work hard on (dream about) and no matter what, it can be accomplished. Just do not give up. I DON'T! And remember to play chess! Chess is a great way to build energy for sports like: track, karate, dance, boxing and kick-boxing. But sometimes chess can make you lose energy! ! ! ! ! !!! My favorite part of chess is attacking. Some people like to defend. I like to attack because then the opponent will always have to defend and won't know what is going on. At a chess game you are under a lot of pressure. It is not a good feeling. But you have no choice but to do it. So you have to be able to play at your best. I would like to tell you about a former World's Champion. His name is Garry Kasparov. At 22 years old he was the youngest person to ever become World Champion. I met him and played against him. It was a good experience for me. I found him to be very friendly. Bobby Fischer was a chess genius. His whole life he studied about the game of chess. He became a master at 12 years old!!!!!! At 13 he won the US Junior championship. He was one of the strongest players in the world. He wanted to improve tournament conditions. But they would not listen. He stopped playing for over 20 years!!!!!! He came back and defeated Boris Spassky. He was still a chess genius. I would like to be able to play on the same level as Bobby Fischer. That would be fantastic!!!!! Here are the names of the chess World Champions: Paul Morphy and Wilhelm Steinitz, Emanul Lasker, Jose Raul Capablanca, Alexander Alekhine, Max Euwe, Mikhail Botvinnik, Vassily Smyslov, Mikhail Tal, Tigran Petrosian, Boris Spassky, Bobby Fisher, Antoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov. A couple of others were world champions too. PS
Even if you think that you are going to lose, there is always a way to win (unless, of course, there is no possible way to win and you have asked everybody and even they can't find a way to win, then you have definitely lost). Always be prepared for anything because anything can happen. Also, like always, be careful about anything, and I mean anything, that you do or think about! AND THE BEST THING TO THINK ABOUT IS THE GAME CALLED
CHESS
