Went to Pasir Ris for some friendly competition today, two hours travelling time lol ...

Played 熊国伟, number 5 in 全国赛 this yr, coach told me he nvr lost a single game during 全国赛, lol ... The results were expected, made a not so good move then I just got attacked until I died ... Well, it's probably okay to lose, given the strength of my opponent, but still no one likes to lose ...

Coach told me it's good to lose, coze it just goes to show that I am still not there yet. Coach then told me about a story about a person who just became the world champ, that person was so happy about it he threw a party celebrating his success. Everyone congratulated him but only his wife said to him " I feel sad for you". Reaching the peak of your talents is not a good thing at all, coze you will just probably feel that you are better than everyone else and there's no motivation to strive for something even higher ..

Quite an inspiring story. I promise that one day, my time will come ..

Well, as much as I want to strive for that goal, I will have no choice but to stop playing chess by the end of July, -roars-, I hate being tied down by academics.

A bit more than a month to prelims and I still haven't really got down to studying ... GG.
