Follow Your Instincts


"The things we usually think of as advantages- having more time to think and analyze, having more information at our disposal-can short-circuit what matters even more:our intuition."-Kasparov

"A well developed intuition let me know when i have reached a critical juncture that requires more time and special attention" - Kasparov

We should working to become an universal player -someone who can defend as well as attack and is at home in any type of position. In order to be that way, we must removed all blocking mind in each move we face. We need to be open minded. Seized all the opportunities and leave to our intuition to handle it.

As in our life, be wild and focused on what you love to do. Have you make big sacrifice in your life just to make sure you are inline with your own happiness?. Let the life flows freely and live with no fear. Improved your abilities and developed it as hard as you can and live with it. Everyone has it own uniqueness and you need to believe your instincts.

Our main objective is to provide all conditions that suit to our mental perception as it would enhances the way we approach in this world. So start having more information to setup ideal mental perception. Be a wild thinker but at the same time use your logical sense / religious sense as a final guidance. Lastly be optimistic.

Chess Knowledge


In math, every chess pieces has it own value ; example rook equal to 5 point, pawn =one point and etc, but the distinctive value of these pieces were depend on the certain position on the board. The understanding of the pieces value is so important as it will broaden up your vision to outplay your opponent. How to improve our evaluation of the position on the board?

A good player of chess would know which position is better only at a glance and no need to do deeper evaluation of the position. They know from the look only. You should try by yourself to simulate every early middle game and make your own assumption of who's position is better; black or white. From the evaluation of the position ; you should trace which pieces is strong , which is bad, the hole , strong square,weak square and so forth. Train yourself to evaluate into details of position' characteristic as much as you can until you can have a picture of winning position that you want in your game.

Don't we know if repetition occur in one's move, the value of the position doesn't same again? why did it happen? Of course it is because of 'time' factor. My intention to bring out time factor is , you need to be brave to manipulate all the opportunity in order to make the best move. I would say that you keep maintain your tempo and complicate the position to bring advantage on time to your game. This is crucial when we are already at 3/4 of the battle.

Last is pawn structure; how well it effect the whole value of the position. Don't move your pawn unnecessarily as it can't be mend again. Make sure the movement of the pawn synchronize with your major pieces.

That is why in my previous article , i urged all of you do not neglect study on position understanding. There are a lot book about it. As a conclusion, with better understanding of the position, you will always have the position that you like on board.

Your Move

Selection of Play

Test your imagination of next move played by opponent, is it the position is the position you like ? I prefer imagination than calculation. You must know how the position can effect your thinking. some of the position make you blur , and some position make your nerve boost up your analytical thinking to be at best.

The more you play , the more you gain the confident. Be pleasant with your move.

Check out this mentality

1) Free up your mind from fear, blur and pressure.
2) Show up uniqueness.
3) Maintain the prestige.
4) Rational and reasonable ( Control method)

Give your mind the best condition to build up the greatest potential of creativeness.

Making Right Decision

What is chess??? Need to figure it out. Don't tell me you are understand enough just because can master some opening perfectly..List out what you know about chess. By doing that, at least you know which part of weaknesses that can mend afterward. It's about all round preparation to be good chess player.

Understand what is chess all about. Until you can make a conclusion about yourself and chess ; then you can say 'i know chess'.

The notes are reminder for me. Tq

The Sign

To have great visionary mind , we need to understand the sign and characteristic of the chess position. Good move can be derived from the characteristic of past move. Even a small sign matters in doing good move.

Find the sign, it always there to give the answer. Chess for me is art ,therefore you need to feel it although the sign is create by your own imagination only. Somehow believe in your move, never have hesitation on your move no matter how great your opponent are.
