Stages of Chess

I've been playing a lot of chess on lichess.com during the pandemic. I think the stages of painting and chess are a lot of like. In both you need to use an opening with a strong foundation to set up moves in the mid game. The mid game is where the highest form of creativity occurs and where the most blunders are likely to happen so understanding position and being adaptable is key. The end game is about the ability to be able to finish. The final moves can turn a certain win into a draw so everything has to be extremely calculated. #thoughtpost #chess #painting #thoughts
