Chess Not Checkers

Chess is more of a calculation than a simple game. To win in chess you must be patient and foreseeing. The game is built on patterns. Beginners usually memorize opening moves, but every match always changes slightly. Because of this, you can never just memorize how to win. When people observe you they try to predict your next moves by looking at the patterns. If people cannot predict your moves it gives you an advantage. They stay in a state of waiting, uncertainty, and confusion. You become the master of the board.
