Bio
Chess reflects many realities of life:
Every action contains risk; our ability to predict ahead is an essential exercise in risk management.
The cost of any move is the opportunity cost of all other moves foregone.
We must begin well to maximise relative position.
Taking the centre is key if we wish to exert real influence.
Not overusing one aspect or piece means we develop systems that are complementary and dynamic.
An attack without momentum or defence without integrity will not endure.
As in music, rhythm and tempo must be constantly maintained.
Mistakes are caused by lack of intent, which is a result of lack of awareness.
A strategy with wisdom will assume the opponent knows all of the above; a wise person will recognise that there is great beauty in conflict with mutual respect.
