🔥Don't let the numbers intimidate! Use the 'probability' rule, flip the game against old people.

Have companions ever been?

Seeing an opponent with a higher rating, a GM sign, an IM, or even just a number ahead of it makes the heart swing... this is what's called "Rating Intimidation," or ratings intimidation.

It's not what our opponents do to us, it's the psychological warfare we create ourselves in our heads!

Today, Admin will invite his friends to find a way out how to fight it. 🚀

1️⃣ Ratings are numbers, not prophecies.

Ratings are statistics of the past, not predictions of the future.

The Grand Master 2700 could also miss out on losing to the IM 2400.

📌 Empirical examples such as the Tata Steel Chess 2021 8th round around the world have to inscribe the name of Andrey Esipenko, an 18-year-old Russian boy with a rating of 2677 at the time, who successfully toppled legendary world champion Magnus Carlsen (rating 2862).

The gap of nearly 200 points is statistically enormous, but on the 64-eye board,..Everything starts at 0-0. This is proof that in a chess game, anything can always happen.

2️⃣ Change the frame of mind: "What will I learn from this game?"

Don't start with the question, "How can you win?"

"What will I learn from this game?"

Meeting someone who is (theoretically) better is a golden opportunity because a friend will:

🧠 saw new ideas.

🥊 Practice defense in pressure situations.

🤔. More understand your own mistakes.

3️⃣ Focus on "position on the board," not "person."

Admin wants his friend to try to forget his opponent's name and ratings.

Because the real enemy is Position, not the opponent.

👉 to think like solving a living puzzle.

He walked one eye. The companion was just looking for the best answer.

One eye at a time, one position at a time. That's enough, GM Susan Polgar once said briefly, but deeply:

"Play the board, not the opponent."

(Playing with the board, not with the opponent)

4️⃣ Everyone is human, and man is wrong.

Let's not forget that even Stockfish has "Incorrect."

So let's say something to a flesh-blooded human!

Higher ratings can be tired, hot-headed, or even simple Blunder like a companion, so our job is to play the best in every eye.

In the end, on this planet... nothing is 100% certain. 🎲

No matter how high the ratings, you can miss it.

No matter how secondary you are, you still have the right to win.

Don't let "numbers" determine all our values.

Because chess and life are games of probability.

The only thing we can control is to play the best in every eye.

And proud of my own efforts. 💪

... Read moreในโลกของการแข่งขันหมากรุกระดับสูง เรตติ้งและตำแหน่ง เช่น GM หรือ IM อาจสร้างแรงกดดันจิตใจที่เรียกว่า 'Rating Intimidation' ซึ่งหลายคนประสบและทำให้ประสิทธิภาพการเล่นลดลงได้อย่างเห็นได้ชัด หนึ่งในกุญแจสำคัญในการเอาชนะแรงกดดันนี้คือการทำความเข้าใจ 'กฎความน่าจะเป็น' ที่ชี้ให้เห็นว่าแม้ผู้เล่นที่มีเรตติ้งสูงกว่า ก็ไม่ได้หมายความว่าจะชนะในทุกการแข่งขัน ในความเป็นจริง ความไม่แน่นอนทางสถิติหมายความว่า ทุกเกมมีโอกาสแพ้ชนะที่เกิดขึ้นได้จริง ทั้งนี้แล้ว ในตัวอย่างการแข่งขัน Tata Steel Chess 2021 รอบที่ 8 ความแตกต่างมากกว่า 180 จุดระหว่าง Andrey Esipenko กับ Magnus Carlsen ถูกทำลายลงด้วยการโค่นแชมป์โลก ข้อคิดสำคัญคือ อย่าให้ตัวเลขเรตติ้งกลายเป็นอุปสรรคทางจิตใจ แต่ให้ใช้เป็นโอกาสในการเรียนรู้และพัฒนาทักษะอย่างต่อเนื่อง การโฟกัสที่ตำแหน่งบนกระดานแทนที่คนเล่น ช่วยให้เรามองเกมเป็นการแก้โจทย์ทางตรรกะมากกว่าการเผชิญหน้ากับคู่ต่อสู้ที่มีตำแหน่งสูงกว่า นอกจากนี้ การยอมรับว่าทุกคน 'คือมนุษย์' ที่อาจเกิดความผิดพลาดได้ แม้แต่กับโปรแกรมวิเคราะห์ที่ดีที่สุดอย่าง Stockfish ก็ยังมี "Inaccuracy" ส่งผลให้เกิดจุดเปลี่ยนในเกม การเล่นอย่างมีสติและตัดสินใจในแต่ละตาอย่างรอบคอบจึงกลายเป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่จะทำให้ชนะในเกมที่ดูเหมือนว่า unfavorable สำหรับนักหมากรุกและผู้สนใจ ความเข้าใจและนำกฎความน่าจะเป็นมาปรับใช้ในเกมไม่เพียงช่วยลดความกดดัน แต่ยังช่วยเสริมสร้างความมั่นใจและความกระตือรือร้นในการเรียนรู้จากแต่ละเกม การมองว่าหมากรุกเป็นเกมที่มีโอกาสพลิกแพลง ช่วยให้เรามองโลกและการเผชิญหน้ากับอุปสรรคในชีวิตจริงในแง่บวกมากขึ้น สุดท้ายนี้ สิ่งสำคัญที่สุดคือการภูมิใจกับความพยายามของตนเองและเล่นเกมให้ดีที่สุดในทุกตา ถึงจะไม่ชนะทุกเกม แต่การมีพัฒนาการที่ดีในทุกเกม คือการควบคุมที่แท้จริงที่เราทำได้ในเกมหมากรุกและชีวิต
