what have you learned from chess

I learned that analogies between chess and life tend to be cringey.

@acercamp you're totally right, chess is a mirror of each self

@SOJB One of the old Yankee managers disagreed. He famously said "losing feels worse than winning feels good." I think it was Casey Stengel.

As a kid, what I learned from chess was how wrong the adults are when they say things like "You can do everything if you really want to", "Nothing is impossible", "Just do it! (Nike)" etc.

Try checkmating your opponent with a lone King.

After breaking 8 mouses in anger, I now use touchpad.
Never use a mouse again is what I learned

I learned that chess is the best worst sport ever. Chess is life

like rushing the other enemy when being rushed like attacking on the flank when the opponent is attacking in the middle.

Glass half full or half empty ,springs to mind xxx

Honestly, I can’t say that I have learned anything from chess.
However, I find an analogy between my approach to chess and my life experience : if I calculate the consequences (good and bad ) before making decisions instead of acting hastily and istinctively, it’s much, much better.
