checkmate with a knight

h, many times i think reality surprises me... you can't never guess how your decisions will impact in your own life, and almost every time you find yourself facing consequences you could never expect.
i used to like to play chess. many times you could change the game with your moves, and you could see the consequences of your moves coming... you could either pursuit or be followed, but you could take the evolution of the game in your mind... playing with your mind. in life it's often the opposite
you play your moves, you plan the causality with reality and, at the end, your life comes different from what you've expected. and if you take decisions fast, you life turns much faster than the sequence of your moves
that's probably why people play chess with a watch. you need to have time to press the watch, otherwise the game goes out of your control, and you loose track of the consequence of the movements
i will try to take decisions slower and wait for the consequence before taking another one... life can be a chess game, it doesn't need to be like checkers... you need to pass the move to your opponen in a timely manner, not by pure instict. one needs to be polite with the timing of its actions, to get proper consequences

b, chess is not polite at all... you have a horse there and they call it a knight
