- vowelless 12y agoExactly. I am not a rated player but dabbled in chess throughout my youth. One lesson I learned that stood out is to always avoid "hope chess" (although Josh Waitzkin articulated it in a different way). Even when playing with weaker opponents, always play as if you are playing a top rated GM. This was an unnecessary gamble. He let the fact that he had to win the game cloud his judgement.
