Game Blog

The game I chose to blog about and play was chess. Although I am not very good at chess I like to play it and find it to be very challenging for the mind. I find chess to structure time in different ways because I have been in games where I play for 15 minutes and others that take up to an hour. For me chess is a game of concentration and strategy where one mishap can cost you your King. I feel chess especially reflects to "everyday life" because the concentration it takes and if you are not involved and in your "being" then moments will pass you by and what else do we have besides this moment? The game also shows the importance of every being on earth because even though the King is the most "powerful" piece on the board your pons and other pieces are just as meaningful because without them there would be no King. As in everyday life just because someone may be more powerful then another whether it be through money or other ways it doesn't make them more important in the big picture. I feel games tell us a lot about everyday life because many games are a part of life and bring different cultures and different kinds of people together. They also express life and can be used as a tool to something more important or be a stepping stone to which many things may come. The game chess expresses my everyday life because I try to seize the moment when possible and often find myself either wasting time or just letting it pass by but when I do seize it and take advantage of the moment I tend to feel myself appreciating the little things and moving in a better direction as the chess pieces do when used wisely.
