The chess player is being influenced from two different directions all the time during a game. On
one side is the player’s own biases, prejudices, personality, fears, convictions, likes, dislikes, and
belief systems. To put it in another way, his very nature. On the other side, he is being influenced by
the chess principles, the knowledge acquired from books, typical reactions acquired through personal
experience, and the demands of the position on the board
