Originally posted by icantwriteChess is iike life, suprising twists, bad decisions, good ones, and all those little pawn moves in between. Once we choose to do something such as moving that pawn 2 squares, there's no turning back, we use the hand we're dealt with.
Bobby Fischer famously said that 'chess is life' and I've heard many people say that chess is a metaphor for life. For some reason I agree, but I can't quite explain it to people that don't play. Can anyone have a crack at trying to explain just how chess is a metaphor for life?
I could probably try to thing of some other meanings, but these were the ones I could come up with off the top of my head.
