Chess teaches you that just like in life, you need to create your own opportunities and to never wait too long to make a move, because the perfect time may never come or come too late. Whether it be in chess, sports, or life you are in charge of creating your own opportunities and letting your skills do the talking. Each decision made in chess paves the way to success or failure, just as in life and relationship. Both in chess and relationship, if we get too focused on our own plan without being attentive to our partner, we lose in this fascinating game. "Chess grips it’s exponent, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom and independence of even the strongest character cannot remain unaffected." Albert Einstein
