<h2><b>Chess: Lessons in Humility</b></h2> </br> </br>
<p>To practice staying humble you should try playing chess for a while:</p>
<img src="1.png" class="imgRz">
<p>On the surface, chess looks trivial, 64 squares, a few sets of pieces, and whoever checkmates the other first wins. But when you start to dig a little, there are so many different skill levels in Chess, that you can spend your entire life trying to master it and still not attain 100% precision in every game.</p>
<p>The game is immensely beautiful by it's sheer complexity, despite looking like a trivial game on the surface. <b>at times you will be convinced that you are doing the right thing, but against a stronger opponent, your beliefs are invariably going to be shattered,</b> leaving you scrambling to find a way out of your own mess, many times in disbelief.</p>
<p>A little reminder that there is always more to learn, always a new niche technique and pattern to learn, some of which can be truly challenging to comprehend, and remember. So don't hesitate to sign up on <a href="https://lichess.org">lichess</a>, play some games and get better at calculating and pattern recognition by doing your daily <a href="https://lichess.org/training">chess puzzles</a>. You may win over 10 noobs and call yourself the best, but a real pro comes in and teaches you a lesson, not everyone has the humility to sit down and listen, <a href="../sum-nihil/index.html">especially if their ego is in the way of their own improvement</a>.</p>
<p>In short, there is always something more to learn, and since you do not know when lightning is about to strike, you need to remain open to the possibility of learning and knowing more at all times. <b>Stay aware of your own ignorance at all times, and stay humble especially when your beliefs are being destroyed, because that's when you are coming back to reality.</b></p>
