“Chess teaches foresight, by having to plan ahead; vigilance, by having to keep watch over the whole chess board; caution by having to restrain ourselves from making hasty moves; and finally, we learn from chess the greatest maxim in life – that even when everything seems to be going badly for us we should not lose heart, but always hoping for change for the better, steadfastly continue searching for the solutions to our programs.” Benjamin Franklin
