I am a conundrum, I am the Observer. I have been called by many names, but mostly I am always known, and never forgotten. I have never been competitive. even though I enjoy playing games against truly good players. It is more about the experience for me and being in that moment, being able to see through the veil. In all versions both physical and mental, it comes down to how well you know your opponent and perceive how well they know you. It defines the choice we make that will result in being remembered or forgotten. In either case, if you accept that you have already lost, then you can never experience the opportunity to enjoy what you are doing. Be better for yourself, don't worry about being better then them. You can never lose if you are already enjoying that moment. If it just so happens, that leads to you winning the world championship. Then you still have something to look forward to when you go back to playing the next time, or teaching a person the game you enjoy playing.
