Really enjoyed this post Adam! Love the idea of monitoring one's choices by picking the best choice out of three. Too often we operate in auto pilot in our busy lives. Thanks for sharing! 🤗
Chess obsession has taken our household by storm and I am not immune! It has become a metaphor for many a situation in my life. Also, there are many moments of exclaimation and commentary that are some mixture of the following: "take, take, take, and then if I go there, they go there, even trade, I'm up material, ROOK!, check!"
I love the idea of intentionally choosing between Candidate Moves - it's a useful mind tool for a piece I'm righting at the moment about defining and choosing between different pathways in life. The idea of Candidate Moves feeds into probabilistic thinking - making bets rather than deluding ourselves with certainty of outcomes.
Chess is humbling game, I recently played 3 games against a friend's 12 year old son. He thrashed me in all three (he's in the UK top 10 for his age category). He enjoyed thrashing me too, gleefully informing me of my mistakes along the way. Good luck with the hobby.
Really interesting concepts in this post Adam! I like the idea of three times and candidate moves, although I wonder if there’s too much chaos in my life for the former. I would choose to spend a longer more focussed amount of time against frequent quick checks, but the time I have available for ‘checking’ has to be fluid and interruptible and fit around me and not the other way round.

Also a fan of the 3 checks - break that addiction!!
The 3-check challenge! I love that! 😄
