in chess, when you move a piece, you’re attacking new squares but also losing influence over the squares you were attacking before. you see?
chess is the art of seeing yourself forward. the calculation muscle that’s constantly evaluating the gain and loss to every move.
in life we’re constantly doing this by the way. taking risk, all day every day. more than you think.
you need to go to a higher up floor. do you want to take the elevator or the stairs? the stairs are probably safer but you lose time and energy. the elevator is easier but is a man made machine with potential dangerous risks. ok well are we going to floor 2 or floor 100? am i healthy or do i have health issues? you evaluate; you choose.
there are no moves in both chess and life with only gain and no loss. for this reason, both chess and life are nothing you can master or finish. it’s an art you develop as the artist

Interesting perspective and one that I never would have thought about personally. I think most people tend to look at the easiest solution and not as a gain / loss scenario. Hence why incremental changes compound over time either positively or negatively.
