Transition in life and chess (ver2)

A game of life and chess can be divided mainly in three parts: Opening, Middle and Ending. The transition among these phases can also be considered like separate phases, but we will just treat that as transition since that's the subject of discussion here.

Opening, middle and Ending just matches exactly with our life as childhood, middle age and old age.

Opening:

Opening needs lots of learning, reading books, developing lots of knowledge how people around us have played the game of life and chess. More you know stronger you are! Its all about very strong preparation. If you are not well prepared and even if you understand the concepts very well you may not get all the advantages you deserve.

Middle game:

Its less about preparation, its less about knowledge...Its more about execution, calculation, strategy, transition, ....Here the real fun begins! Even a well prepared can be outplayed here.

End game:
Interesting similarities are end game depends on the knowledge base and not much movement..Since movements are very restricted due to lack of activities over the board..Most of the cases with very few pieces, most of the friends and enemies are killed.

Transition:
Transition needs to be handled very carefully. Transition is the point where one forgets what was planned in the previous phase, also forgets why (s)he has planned this transition. This is typical of ameture players who study enough book materials but can't handle the complexity of middle game. And can't connect the theory with the practical life.

Transition keeps us in a confusing state of mind since so many different things happen during transition. We observe so many different possibilities what we haven't prepared for. Many of us jump into such dervied possibilities and do completely unplanned things. This is amazing! This happens so many times in life. However, Grand Masters normally have clear enough vision not to change basic plan so drastically as we do in real life during transition.

Its difficult to understand how Grand Masters handle transition in real life...I need to look for more details here!
