While moving pieces over a chess board I find similarities between the movements in life and concepts of chess. These are real experiences I undergo both in life and over chessboard. I also like to dream about a new way of life where movements are more similar. When chess is a completely solved game, we may need to find out another game, a game for the future. This weblog belongs to that search process! A continous search!

isolated pawn and human life

Speaking in terms of chess, isolated pawns over a chess board is treated as positional weakness. These pawns can not be supported by other pawns, so it needs continous protection. It needs the help of bigger forces like king, queen, bishop etc. Thus the bigger forces have more work to do and can't be free to perform their usual task.

So what does this has to do with human life? Are we all like isolated pawns? Or, just some of us? I am not sure about what percentage of us are like isolated pawn. From now on, I will refer to "isolated pawns" as "we". We need connections, connections to other pawns, not bigger forces...

Once we are well connected, we can play an important role over the chessboard!

However, its tough to stay connected with same set of pawns, as others move forward, or get killed; nothing is static, events move over the board and in life. Getting new connections is a definite possibility, not a certain event!

...Every now and then we all feel like isolated pawn...
