| It was enlightening to see how they looked at the board by listening as they spoke out load about the positions. While it was instructive to see the thought process for the particular positions, I did not come away with any great revelations for myself. Being a rules based kind of person, I'm always looking for "rules" to try and apply. They did not provide anything that I'd call rules. (I know, I know, you can't play good chess by following rules. I'd rather have rules I don't have to follow than rules I don't know about to not follow). | |
