How to Handle Painful Blunders

> Here is one of my favorite quotes: "When one door closes, another opens, but we often look so long and regretfully at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." I believe that many people would have been satisfied with their lives if they had followed this quote. The same is true in chess.

coincidence or not, but I like this sentence enough to have written a previous blog built on this sentence... But thank you for writing on this subject in a way that is probably more precise than me, especially with the root of the defeat.
"Provoke the real warrior inside you. Chess is not for the weak."

You stronk warrior, go to war against these weaklings...

your condescension is still asocial. You comparing chess to war would be laughable if there were no war at this time... right now it's just a disgusting insult to everyone living a war at the moment and everyone feeling solidarity for them. But you don't care, as long as you can qualify yourself as a warrior, because somehow you find this image meliorative. pathetic.

Aparently, since last time you still don't have perspective or respect. But eh, introspection is not for the weak. in comparison, chess is easy. No wonder you chose the latter.

May you right?!
Yeah I learned from your blog, it helped me to understand how to make less blander, I like your
After Each main blunder need to Reset Your Mind completly , as if You played from current position from the start, another thing doesn't work actually , as I ve experienced, but that Resetiing is also not always possible, If all was that simple, may ppl would play like machines xD

viking chess pieces. the one with the shield represents a berserker, a Scandinavian warrior type who fought in a trance state by biting shield and weapons

War metaphors are as old as chess literature. Virtually every chess book ever written uses war metaphors. Heck, the game itself is a metaphor for war (e.g., "knights").

As far as there being war right now--there's always war somewhere. Such is the nature of human existence.
