Welcome to Chess | Part 2


I have come to believe that the best way to approach chess is in a manner that teaches us about ourselves and about learning in general. I recommend that you keep your eyes open for the parallels between life and chess. They're out there waiting to be discovered. Over time, you'll internalize the lessons of this academy and the principles will become part of your intuition. Then the chess board will become a thrilling arena for you to express yourself with creativity and freedom.

Before we begin, I'd like to make a few suggestions. As you progress through this Academy and beyond, please remember: growth comes at the point of resistance. This course will gradually stretch the mind. So don't get frustruated if you're stumped or forget something. I can't tell you how many chess problems have confused me until the answer dawned like a revelation. I may sometimes ask a question which feels a bit tricky. In general, the more effort you put into these challenges, the more you'll get out of the experience. The idea is not to get everything right, but to do the best you can with the knowledge you have so far, and then to soak in my explanations. If I've learned anything over the years, it's that the road to mastery is about growth, not perfection. So with that spirit, let's dive in. Welcome to the Black and White Jungle.
