About This Quote

A novice is a person who has not yet mastered chess and typically does not understand the rules of the game. In contrast, a Grand Master is a chess master who has learned the rules of the game and has made significant progress in mastering it. Likewise, a novice in life will continue making moves until he gets checkmated. In other words, he will continue making decisions that lead to failure.

A Grand Master, however, will understand 20 moves in advance that it’s futile to continue playing because the result will be the same. The Grand Master has applied enough mental energy to see where his choices will lead, and thus he can choose a different path better tailored toward success.
