Chess Is Not Just A Game

Chess develops mental training such as reading chess books at very young age, memorizing and understanding chess openings, discovering the ability to focus, calculated risk, deep analysis, spatial aptitude, determination, strategy, planning, emotional intelligence and decision making when you play as a child. From then on, as you aged, you increase your horizon by curiosity such as studying IT, Data Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, Law or Physics.

You looked back, and realized… we owe it all by playing chess as it molded us to think what are the right moves or best moves in life…away from vices such as drugs, smoking, wild partying, chasing too much wasteful fun because chess is about life…not chess as a board game.

Sample Annotated Game Below:

Queen’s Gambit Declined (Semi-Slav D42) Chess Opening Classification

FM Jesse Noel Sales vs. GM Buenaventura “Bong”  Villamayor

(Event: 1997 Philippine Master’s Classic)

1:d4      d5
2:c4      c6
3:Nf3   Nf6
4:Nc3   e6
5:Bg5   h6

The Semi Slav Variation. Solid yet flexible opening. This style of opening avoids the wild Botvinnik Variation.

6. Bf6      Qf6
7. e3        Nd7
8. Bd3     g6
9. 0-0      Bg7
10. e4      dc4
11. e5      Qe7
12. Bc4   0-0
13. Qe2   b5
14. Bd3   b4
15. Na4   c5?!

Black needed to loosen his position with the move 15…c5 but white managed strategically to penetrate the weakness and took control of c ↑ file, there followed control of queen side position as well. If you notice, black bishop became immobile. In order for white to control the position, it is necessary to protect the e5 pawn.
