Best mindset for chess is where persistent self-confidence meets respect for the opponent.
King -- The only piece that can commit ritual suicide (harakiri, or seppuku). All other pieces are sacrificial lambs made to spill their blood, give their lives for the good of the one, or the team. Only the King may fall on his sword.
Though it has become a lost, bygone art form to tip one's king; there remain yet a few honorable Kings who have not yet lost their soul to the drawishness (madness) of modern chess.

#26 A bishop up the butt...Is no joking matter! :]
At a tournament not long ago
I left the board and went for a stroll
A bishop was placed on my chair and without further ado
For my carelessness I paid my toll
