Task 4
CHECK MATES: HOW CHESS SAVED MY MENTAL WELLBEING

I think, That Chess actually can help you with your feelings, but it is not at all the way that I
like to confront my games, for me, chess is good because it is a world where I can evade
reality, and just get guided by the complex but, much more simple than real world, of chess,
so for me chess is not a place where I learn to control my feelings, but a place where I get
better, learn about my mistakes and in the process just have fun, surrendering when I can
not win and celebrating when I win.
However, the game of chess can be very stressful when played wrong, there have been a lot
of times that a bad day of chess has influenced my mood in the rest of the day, that is a
reason why i think that learning to separate your hobbies from the rest of your life is
important, and much more with a game that can be as frustrating as chess.
Task 5:

I agree in part with this statements, but I don’t think it is something bad, that’s because one
of the most important things you can learn about chess, is that if you lose is a hundred
percent because you made more mistakes that your rival, but instead of asking yourself why
you play it, you should ask, which mistakes you made and how to fix them. It is a frustrating
game when you lose, but for me the joy of winning at chess is much more grateful than the
frustration when you lose, and that is the reason why you would keep playing, that is
because of the constant desire to win.

Task 6:
The part that I would like to highlight of this Ted talk, is how she was capable of transmit her
thoughts or problems through chess, the main messages that she tries to deliver, are that
sometimes, when you think something is obsessing you, and is depriving you from the rest
of your life, the problem is not the thing that is obsessing you, sometimes the problem is you,
because something is wrong inside you, and so your problems make you transmit your
feelings towards something, in this case, chess. And another important thing that she says,
is that in life and in chess, overcoming hard losses make you stronger.
