i read the rules and looked up all the big words in a dictionary.
I Borrowed books from the Chinatown library.
I studied each chess piece, trying to absorb the power each contained.
i learn about opening moves and why it's important to control the center early on the shortest distance between two points is straight down the middle.
i learn about the middle game and why tactics between two adversaries are like clashing idea the one who plays better has the clearest plans for both attacking and getting out of traps.
i learn why it is essential in the endgame to have foresight,a mathematical understanding of all possible moves , and patience all weakness and advantages become evident to a strong adversary and are obscured to a tiring opponent.
i discovered that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the endgame before the game begins.
i also found out why i should never reveal why to others.
A little knowledge withheld is a great advantage one should store for future use that is power of chess.
it is a game of secrets in which one must show and never tell.
