When I was doing weights in a gym, I was told by my trainers that the most benefit is gained from the last push. That means when you feel that you have already given your all and feel you cannot go on anymore, you are asked to do just one more.
Is there a parallel here? I know Sawada (bridge player mentioned in "when the mind is still" post) trains her Japanese team like that. Has there ever been a strong player in chess history that has lost to a much weaker player? Say 300 points difference. Maybe it was Mas's day to make history. Now we'll never know.

ReplyDeleteHi Raymond
ReplyDeleteNot entirely agree with your views on Mas draw against GM Adam but anyway i have to mention it is great to have around someone with different opinions, dare to go against popular belief and do so openly!
btw currently reading Kite's Runner...fantastic book!
Hi Ilham, Actually I think there have been many good points raised. Gives us a bigger picture but more complex maybe. Nice to hear from you too. Yes, its a fantastic book. Happy reading.
