You don’t Win a Chess Game on Every Move!
So, whenever a game of chess is played, it’s the final one move which gives victory to a player who check mates the opponents king. Meaning, there is no legitimate move after king is attacked!

Now, chess games can vary from single digit moves to games with 100+ or even 200+ moves. Longest chess game that was played had 269 moves! Point here is the range can have lot of variations. Let it be a short game of say 20 moves or a long game of 120 moves, have you noticed one fact that winning move is only the last one. One needs to make multiple moves to get to the final winning move.
Dedication, Passion & then Winning acts as Seal
At every move there isn’t any winner or loser declared. The idea or thought is to think on these lines – on every move we can’t expect to win. But with every move we can create chances and get closer a win.

Let us reflect this in life. While we study, it’s not that every day we will get marks. It will happen only when examination happens say twice a year. Let’s look at work or office, every day we go, put in efforts, do good work, but every day we will not get performance appraisal or increase in our salary. That shall happen only at year end. It’s the last one step which will take you at top of mount Everest but every step before that will take you closer.
With chess, slowly and surely, we start understanding and appreciating this fact gracefully. We can easily extrapolate the idea of not to jump on conclusion with every bit. We accept highs and lows of life by raising our bar above the situation that’s around us.
Chess players will know better when to react or when to respond. With chess we learn an art to buy time. At times, we have few milli-seconds but at times we can hold on to our nerves, invest wisely by judiciously using more time.
In nut-shell chess teaches us that one move which in life is say one event, one transaction, one occasion, one day and so on is surely important but it’s not correct to expect a win at every small thing. So, we need not think or focus on instant gratification but shall focus on long term sustainable outcomes!
I will leave you with the thought which is beyond many moves from the Founder of Victorious Chess Academy, Mr. Kapil Lohana often states, “Purpose & Mission of Humans must be larger than Life itself.”
