A good strategist thinks five moves ahead. A great strategist thinks one move ahead, but it is always the right move.

What is the right move?

Sometimes strategy just gets in the way, best to just do.

The right move is the one we're on right now. Can't be undone anyway so might as well not worry about it.

Do you strive to live without regrets?

[Voice] a_bad_guy November 29 2010, 15:08:46 UTC

Yeah, doesn't always work though. Most of the time it does.

Then you try until it is your time.

That's a good quote. I'm writing it down in my book of quote collections.

I think the one that benefits the most people is the right move. I'm kind of an optimist though.

[Voice] nevertame November 29 2010, 04:17:03 UTC

An optimist or an altruistic sort of person, the two are not always the same.

[Voice] alexis_castle November 29 2010, 15:06:57 UTC

You're right... both. Which tends to make me a bit naive as well on some occasions, but... that's okay.

Those who are wise are the first to acknowledge that which they do not always know or do so wisely.

The one that makes your opponent move in the way you want him to, but causes him to believe that it was his own idea all along.

nevertame November 29 2010, 04:21:08 UTC

Very clever.

prefers_chess November 29 2010, 04:23:40 UTC

Naturally. It's chess.

nevertame November 29 2010, 04:26:55 UTC

When can you tell your opponent has adopted the idea as his own?

Is there ever a clear right move? How do we know?

audio nevertame November 29 2010, 04:21:54 UTC

You may not ever know but can you move forward without ever doing one or the other?

...No.

whattingawhat November 29 2010, 02:51:03 UTC

I think it depends on the situation? And the people involved and just how much you've taken and what result you want and if you're on the defensive or the offensive and your opponent and...

It's situational?

nevertame November 29 2010, 04:26:19 UTC

And nothing ever happens the same way twice.

whattingawhat November 29 2010, 04:46:21 UTC

That's what's...fun? about it. Challenging maybe is a better word. [No she was right with fun but she doesn't like to look at slaying that way.]

nevertame November 29 2010, 04:49:12 UTC

Whether fun or challenging or both, what you will not be is fully ready. If we were always ready we would make no effort to do anything.
