History of chess in cafés

2024-01-20T23:30:44.702Z

hello everyone, this time I wanted to do a historical blog on an important subject in the history of chess: the influence of cafés on the practice and popularization of chess. you know that chess had a reputation until the end of the 19th century as a leisure activity for the rich bourgeois, aristocrats or intellectuals. This was somewhat true, because if you look at the history of chess, you will see that in the earliest history or chronicle of chess, kings, princes and ecclesiastics were the only ones who had time to play. the situation was no more different in Asia than in Europe, where chess also remained a high-caste pastime. this is explained by the meaning of the game of chess which, as strategy games, is originally made for people with experience in real battle strategy, therefore the highest echelons of a kingdom or country.

Playstyle. The thing they don't want you to understand.

Karpov said: “chess is an art, a science, a sport”. if these words are above all a praise of our beloved chess, it is necessarily possible to see something else in them: if chess is an art - it needs artists to create something, a science - scientists to hypothesize and refute - and a sport - high level intensity and intuition. you see where I'm going with this, the question of personality and style of play in chess. many people literally miss out on their potential and prefer to concentrate on things that are certainly important, but which could go further if the player also focuses on the question of playing style.

How to have self-confidence in chess

2023-12-06T17:21:10.802Z

I really like talking about motivation, but today I will talk about the importance of self-confidence in chess. many know that I spend a lot of time on the forums (and in chats) and there are really topics that sadden me: like "how to achieve such a rating", "why I didn't win", "I I don't know how to play chess because I lose all the time" and other things like that. Most of the time, the answers to such questions are vague, ironic or worse: potentially arousing disgust for chess. so yeah, i wanted to make a big answer to such things so that I can restore your confidence and make you love the game of chess!

the ultimate travel guide for your Lichess tournaments! - 1. Tips about marathon

2023-11-18T16:23:01.12Z

a marathon has ended, a new one will arrive, every hour you have arenas and tournaments by the thousands, but how do you prepare for it? dear readers, the desire to write a blog about tournaments took hold of me and given my journey, don't be surprised. already a small remark, I am NOT a titled player, I am an amateur. so you are free not to like my blogs and to consider that there may be better elsewhere. just look at the Lichess blogs home page, there are people more knowledgeable than me. but my status as an amateur will perhaps be closer to what you can feel on the chessboard before and during a tournament and that humbly, my advice could be useful to you so that you can progress and understand things written by people more competent than me.

motivation is the key to open the door to knowledge!
