make your weakness your greatest weapon

Mental training 2

Well the way to balance your own way of thinking, the most common way of thinking to balance the game itself. but for me that´s not quite true.'I think to balance the game you first need to balance yourself.It´s plainly obviuos that this part is one of the most difficult things for beginners from 20k-3dan  or so.for long time dan players there is pressure of wanting to play better and not to lose to kyu players badly but destroy them in their games. For Kyu players it´s the wanting of getting dan player and surpassing other kyu players and crushing them to prove themself that they got stronger .But as you all guessed what i will say about this is: ALL WRONG WAY´S TO THINK!!!!!!!!!!To be able to play a balanced game one has to see himself as a third party. To see yourself calm and patient and above all  of course with the will to win the game as first priority and not something else.Then how can we do this?The question is simple : Firstly understand thyself. That is change the way to think and give the priority of just winning no matter what or how you win as your first priority.Secondly find yourself a sure understanding of the game situation understanding.Analyse the game and count the territory and ask yourself how you can win the game with the least risk.and thirdly  don´t mix up the idea of winning requires playing the strongest move always.To win you only need to play the most logical move, not the strongest move.
