I don't know your situation so I answered what I think in general should be good according to me. I just don't understand question 7. The answers also depends on many factors, for example if you want to take chess seriously or just as hobby to play with friends and many more.
Wow,
I would say stick to not taking it seriously unless you have talent. If your 40 yrs old, play for fun. If you 8 yrs old, see what you can accomplish. But chess is ultimately folly. All games and sports are inherently lacking of that which grants lasting happiness. It is highs and lows. About 50/50. My advice is forget your questions. Focus on practicing meditation and spiritual development for 3 weeks. Then you can answer them all yourself.
OP writes "this is not a troll post".
By definition, such qualification, makes it so!
I like #6 the best. Should he be angry over his "killer instinct" or "be calm, deeply thinking, with no psychology"? I've often wondered about this.
Well this is precisely the point of zen. You will not play better when emotional. Anger is bad for the mind, (I gave a speech on aggression in college and did not know the topic until I was onstage). The trick is that some positions call for ruthless aggression, which can be made by a player with calm nerves, no animosity, just a cold calculation that can be interpreted as downright vicious. "Aggression is a dish best served cold" - not revenge. Revenge is hot as a coal that you burn yourself with while
your enemy knows nothing of your hate. Likewise the Samurai train to never let anger enter into a contest as it becomes a disadvantage of the mind and robs them of honor as well. I consider chess a mental samurai duel. Or Robot-Rock.
Who could have guessed after posting his "final" topic in all chess forums, the OP would close his account, days after opening it?
He’s probably unsatisfied with the answers/advice we gave him and maybe decided to ask them on a different website :)
