Chess is a strategy board game where all pieces
on the board can move in different positions and
each with different limitations. All pieces on the
chessboard are moved to strategically over power
the opponent’s King and this is how the players
ultimately win the game.
Chess, the game of life, is a game where every
decision made has an impact on the rest of your
game. One bad move and your entire game is
ruined or in the least, it makes it hard to recover
from that bad choice. Each chess Game consists of 32 initial pieces. (These pieces make up the human population) 2 Kings 2 Queens 4 Rooks(Castles) 4 Knights 4 Bishops 16 Pawns It’s clear to see that not all pieces on the board of life are placed equally in the hierarchy of life: The few elite. The powerful reinforcements. The free spirits. The majority – dedicated hard workers. Some, at first, appear to be lucky to have already been placed in positions of power. Others have to work hard if they have any hopes of “moving up” in life. Life is one big chess board. All the pieces represent each type of person in this world |

The King
These are the all-powerful influencers and the
decision makers. They don’t move around much,
but they have a huge following. They are very well
protected by all the other pieces and at all costs.
All the other players have to move in the interest
of these all powerful human
Chess pieces. Interesting thing with these all
powerful pieces are that even with all their power,
if the ‘kings’ in life do not have substantial backup
from those around him, they are almost useless.

The Queen
The most powerful piece of all, with unmatched
freedom of movement. With all this power though,
try as she might, the Queen will always only be
second to the king.
The Queen has a lot of influence but if she is not
careful, she may easily be replaced by an
upcoming pawn. As with the King, powerful as the
Queen may be, she is almost useless without the
support of the other pieces on the board.
Experts, Managers, Directors of big corporations,
Heads of different governmental sectors, etc. |

Bishop hese players remain on their own colour. These ‘pieces’ avoid change at all costs and prefer to remain in their comfort zones. These pieces are crucial to the King’s success and often serve as loyal Devotees. Conservative or traditional people that generally try sticking to rigid regime, etc. |

The Knights
These players represent those that love freedom!
They move around the world with their head and
their heart. They are the motivators of the world.
These are the pieces that encourage change. Their
free-spirited capabilities are so unique that not
even the Queen can perform these moves.

Activists, Philosophers, Positive Thinkers, e |

The Rook (Castle)
These are the tall, head-strong and powerful ones.
Their almost intimidating power is often used to
fight off the bad and protect all the other pieces
on the board. These pieces provide support to the
rest of the pieces on the board.
Army, Police force, Firefighters, etc. |

Pawns
The workers. The most over looked, yet most
crucial pieces in the game of life. Without the
pawns, the higher powers would be weak,
vulnerable. The all-powerful often use these pieces
for their own gain. The pawn remains headstrong
and looks ahead, knowing that if they work hard
enough they will get rewarded and move well up
the ladder.
Sometimes, the pawn becomes so fixated on
moving up, that they lose their self in the
process…..
Construction workers, Teachers, Doctors, etc.
Many of us fall into this category… |

In this game of life you cannot just focus on your
next move, but rather, you have to focus on your
next three moves. The next move you make has
an impact on the moves you’re allowed to and
will be forced to make in the future.
Every decision you make today will have an
impact on your future decisions tomorrow,
regardless of where you fit in this game of life.
Sometimes we make decisions fully believing that
it was our best decision and ends up being the
worst decision we could have made. What’s
important though is how fast we are willing to get
back up and start again. Each piece has to keep
moving. Mistakes are made and learnt from.
Such is the game of life.
In the game of life, which chess piece best
describes you? http://www.theemotionmachine.com/life-game-chess/ |

I think it is important to understand that it is you
who control the pawns, how they move and what
happens to them rather than thinking that you are
the pawns and they are controlled by God, your
genes, patter in society, just random or any other
such idea. Personally I believe that if you can
establish the thinking that you are responsible for
anything that happens in your life or did not happen
which you wanted to happen then you have come
far on your way. |

Did you ever play chess and stood up and walked
around and saw the game from blacks side? Try to
do the same in life. See life from other viewpoints
and angles. Try the unknown, test things, learn,
discover. |
Re: Life As Seen From The Eye Of A Chess Player by engrtee(f): 7:23pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
is like a game of chess. Every move/decision
you make can either bring you an advantage or a
disadvantage. Even acting upon your wisest/
planned decision can bring a negative outcome.
Pieces must keep moving though. life keeps on
moving. Wins and Losses are a part of life.
Sacrifices must be made at some point. Expect the
unexpected. When making a decision that wasn't
well thought out and have lost something BECAUSE
of it, well it teaches to think twice next time, to be
more vigilant. you musn't ever regret your decisions
because every mistake is a lesson. mistakes are
part of our fate. |

ANTICIPATES OTHERS’ ACTIONS.
When your goal is total chess domination, being
able to anticipate your opponent’s moves is key. If
you see how your opponent could reach
checkmate, you can move your pieces to safety.
Being aware of others’ intentions may not be a life
or death matter outside of chess, but paying
attention could help you win in other areas of life.
If you know your boyfriend will arrive home
stressed from work, order his favorite takeout or
plan to watch his favorite movie as a surprise. Or,
if a classmate or coworker rarely does their share
of work in group projects, try to avoid having them
as a partner. Sometimes we can get so wrapped
up in our own problems that we forget to look
outside of ourselves – which, ironically enough,
could have prevented some of those issues in the
first place! |

The queen is the most powerful piece on
the board, the king by contrast is
plodding and slow. Yet the game can
continue for dozens of moves after the
queens are off the board—but once the
king dies, the game ends. As in real life,
women are often the centers of attention
with their dazzle and flash and drama,
but in the end, it is individual male
leadership that decides the outcome.WOMEN ARE POWERFUL, MEN ARE ESSENTIAL 2 Likes |
