    Spatial Awareness

    At this point in my online correspondence chess life, I'm of the opinion that there's little chance of significantly improved play without an increasing spatial awareness; and a relaxed mental attitude. Without expanded focus, many nuanced threats and opportunities will go unnoticed (as the result of taking the game and its dynamics for granted). Unless there's an easy in the harness mindset, we're less than teachable and quick to reject the circumstantial authority of these Ageless 64 Squares.

    True but generally not with online correspondence chess (in my experience here for six years; two other sites for one year).
