CHESS FOR MENTAL DEVELOPMENT

Chess mirrors Truth, for a reflection of Truth is somewhat also seen in chess.

Firstly, the principles of simplicity, activity, balance and harmony . . . , all aspects of Truth also apply to chess.

Secondly, intuitively inspired logical creative thinking is the vehicle for further developments in chess as well as in other fields of human activity.

Presented here are chess960 and classical chess games developed with the aid of the computer, Fritz 960 for chess960, and Fritz 9 for orthodox chess.

See if you could suggest, were possible, an improvement for one side, with the follow-up sequence of moves that would change the outcome of the game. If for instance White won, find an improvement for Black; if a draw, find an improvement for White or Black; and if Black won, find an improvement for White. The computer may be used symbiotically to facilitate this work in the spirit of cyborg chess.

If you wish, you may drop your finds as a comment. Chess960, also known as Fischer Random Chess, is the legacy of Bobby Fischer; while Advanced Chess, also known as Cyborg Chess is the legacy of Gary Kasparov. These men are acclaimed to be the strongest players the game of chess has known.
