Learning From Losing !

I'd Like To Share One of my favorite quotes related to chess, as seen in
Dan Heisman's column at The Chess Cafe ....

"In chess you fail not if you lose, but if you play a game and DON'T LEARN,
or learn something and DON'T APPLY what you learned next time ......
CONTINUING TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.

The outcome of any individual game is fairly irrelevant in the greater sense of learning if your goal is to improve. Sure, there are some important games to win, and if you can win and learn, all the better ;

But if you start out as a weak player and want to get strong .......

LEARNING and APPLYING is What It's All About. "

or this adage ....

" More games are lost by not applying what you already know, than by what you don't know " E.Lasker

And the bottom line for all this .....

You Gotta Have FUN Playing / Learning ! ! !
