"You better think" -- Aretha Franklin 1942-2018

When I play chess I usually move too fast. The last game I played I moved slow. Thinking works. A computer analysis of my game had no complaints. It was a perfect game. Checkmate in 17 moves.

What is true in chess is true for life. It's important to think. People are constantly having to make decisions. If they don't think or don't think long enough, there can be problems much worse than getting killed in chess.

Update:

My next chess game was against a grandmaster in Brisbane, Australia. Thinking didn't work this time. He killed me. I'm going to study the computer analysis and maybe learn something.

By the way, I play chess at https://lichess.org/ which is totally free, zero ads. Millionaires and other people help pay the bills.
