(Ifoto: Tor Bair) Ukusukela kwiminyaka esixhenxe ubudala, ndandidlala ichess rhoqo nangokhuphiswano. Ndadlala esikolweni, kwi-intanethi, kukhuphiswano lwesizwe. I-Chess indifundise umonde, unyamezelo, ukucinga okunzulu - izakhono ezibalulekileyo zokujongana neengxaki zobomi ezinzima kunye neemeko ezinzima.
I-Chess yandichukumisa ukuba ndicinge ngokusemncinci ndisemncinci. Hambisa i-knight yakho apha; uya kubambisa ubishophu wakhe. Thatha loo pawn; uya kulwenza buthathaka icala lakhe lasekunene. Yonke intshukumo echanekileyo indikhokelele kufutshane ne-checkmate; onke amanyathelo angalunganga andisondeza nokoyiswa.
I-Chess nayo yazisa umbono wenye. Mnyama xa kuthelekiswa nomhlophe. Isikolo sethu xa sithelekiswa nesabo. Kwaye wonke umdlalo wawuyi-zero sum - kwakusoloko kukho inqaku elinye lokufumana amanqaku, nokuba kukwabelwana ngalo okanye kuthathwe ngokupheleleyo. Akukho ndlela yokukhulisa ipayi.
Ndadlala i-chess ngokungathandekiyo de kwaba yiminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu, malunga nexesha endandifumana ngalo iselfowuni yam yokuqala. Iselfowuni yayiluphawu olubalulekileyo lwenkululeko kulutsha, nangona lwalungenaluncedo lokwenyani. Ndiyikhumbula kakuhle-iflip encinci enomnxeba wombala. Ndandihamba nayo naphi na njengophawu lwenkululeko yam. Ifowuni yam ayinakufikelela kwi-intanethi okanye ithumele i-Snapchat, kodwa ndiyifumene inokubulala isithukuthezi ngomdlalo wayo omnye: iTetris. Kwaye ndaba likhoboka.
I-Tetris, kwabanye, kukukhathazeka emzimbeni. Iphindaphinda! Akunakwenzeka ukuphumelela! Iqhutywa lithamsanqa! Kodwa kum, yaba yeyona nto ibalulekileyo ebomini. Xa kuthelekiswa, i-chess ngumdlalo nje osisidenge wemfazwe.
Andiyidlali ichess ngokukhuphisana kwakhona. Kodwa ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla, iTetris kuphela komdlalo kwifowuni yam. Ihleli kwiphepha langaphambili leapps zam, isikhumbuzi esingaguquguqukiyo sokuba ubomi yiTetris, hayi itshesi.
Ndiza kuwenza lo mahluko ucace kumanqaku amane alula. Mhlawumbi nawe ubudlala umdlalo ongalunganga.
1. Ebomini, umchasi wakho kuphela nguwe ngokwakho.
Ndikhule ndikhangela abachasi- abantu abaza kulwa, abantu ababekek 'ityala, abantu ababonisa ukungalunganga. Ndacinga iintshaba xa kungekho kuba ukulwa kwakulula. Ndiphatha yonke into ngokungathi yayisisixa-mali xa kukho enye into eninzi yokuyifumana.
Leyo yingqondo yechess. Kwaye ikubambezela.
KwiTetris, udlala ngokuchasene nexesha kunye nokuhamba okungapheliyo kwamaqhekeza ukusuka phezulu kuye ezantsi. I-mindset ijolise ngaphakathi-uzicelomngeni ngokwakho ekusebenziseni ngokukuko ukungeniswa okungalunganga kokungeniswa kulungelelwaniso olunocwangco. Akukho mphathi wokugqibela. Akukho tyala ukwabela.
Umdlalo wokwenene wobomi ungaphakathi ngokupheleleyo. Ngokwenene azikho iintshaba ezinkulu nezimbi ezikhoyo ezenza ukuba ubandezeleke. Akukho ntshukumo ilungileyo okanye iphosakeleyo anokuyohlwaya ngayo umchasi othile. Kwaye amanqaku akho anokunyuka aye kubomi obungapheliyo, ukuba nje uzityhala ngamandla. Amanqaku akho obomi anokunyuka kancinci okanye ngokukhawuleza, kuxhomekeke ekubeni uzityhale nzima kangakanani. Okundizisa ku…
2. Ebomini, izinto azibi nzima - zisuka zikhawuleze.
Eminye imidlalo iba nzima ngokude udlala, kubandakanya nechess. Izikhundla ziya zisiba nzima, iqela elichasayo liba ngumceli mngeni, izibonda ziyanda Unamanqanaba oluntu, kwaye ngenxa yoko kuya kuphulukana xa udlala nabachasi abafanayo.
Hayi iTetris. Umdlalo uhlala ufana ukusuka kwiNxalenye yokuqala de uphelelwe yindawo kwiscreen. Ekuphela kwento etshintsha sisantya.
Ukuba udlale iTetris ngesona santya sincinci ebomini bakho bonke, ngekhe ulahlekelwe. Olona tshaba lwaluya kuba kukudinwa. Kodwa ialgorithm yokubetha iTetris ayinzima, kwaye unexesha elininzi lokuhambisa iziqwenga ziye kwiindawo zazo ezifanelekileyo.
KwiTetris, amaxesha ngamaxesha kunokuba sizicel 'umngeni. Asonelisekanga kukwenza umqolo omnye ngexesha. Siyazityhala ukuze sifumane iTetris - imiqolo emine ngaxeshanye. Ligama lomdlalo. Kutheni ukhathazeka ngokudlala ukuba awuyingeni?
Ndabuphatha ubomi njengechess ixesha elide- uthotho lwemiceli mngeni eyandayo. Ndingasungula iingxaki apho kungafunekiyo kwaye ndithathe ingqalelo yexhoba. Kodwa ubomi abubi nzima ngokude udlala. Njengoko sikhula, sinemali engakumbi kunye nobulumko. Inkululeko yethu iyanda. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba sithathe imiceli mngeni emitsha ukuba asifuni. Kodwa sifuna ukuzaliseka, sihlala sisenza njalo.
Nangona kunjalo, ubomi buya bukhawuleza. Yonke imihla esiphila kuyo yipesenti encinci yobomi bethu bonke, kwaye sijonga ixesha njengokuhamba ngokukhawuleza okukhulu. Uxanduva lwethu luyakhula de imisebenzi ekufuneka siyonwabele ngokunyanisekileyo iphathwe njengengxaki okanye iziphazamiso ezingenangqondo.
Ekuphela kwendlela yokulungisa ubomi-njengoTetris- kukufunda ukudlala ngokuzilawula okufanayo ngesantya esiphezulu. Awunakho ukuvumela iinjongo zakho ukuba zonakaliswe, nokuba ungahamba ngesantya esingakanani. Kuya kufuneka ulawule ingqondo yakho, indlela oziphethe ngayo kunye nexesha lakho. Oku kusikhokelela ku…
3. Ebomini, awukwazi ukulawula ibhodi.
Njengoko benditshilo ngaphambili, i-chess ibangela. Kukho eyona ntshukumo ilungileyo nakweyiphi na indawo enikiweyo. Unganyanzela umdlali wakho ukuba abe yikona. Ungabona amashumi amabini ahambayo kwikamva, ukuba uyikhompyuter.
I-chess iza neseti yemigqaliselo kunye neendlela ezilungileyo. 1. e4 ithathwa njengenyathelo lokuvula elinamandla elimhlophe. 1. h3 ayikho. Kungenxa yokuba i-chess yinkqubo evaliweyo. Akukho zithintelo ezingahleliwe, akukho thamsanqa. Iziqwenga zihlala zihamba ngokufanayo, kwaye indawo yokuqala ihlala ifana.
Tetris? Uyazi kuphela ukuba yintoni isiqwenga esilandelayo. Udlala ngalo mzuzu wangoku, uzama ukwakha ezona ziqwengana zibhetele, usazi ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba uqikelele imeko nokuba ziingceba ezimbini ukusukela ngoku. Awukhohliswa ngokucinga ukuba unokulawula ikamva.
Ndichithe ixesha elininzi lobomi bam kuloo ngqondo yechess, ndizama ukufumana owona mdlalo ungcono okanye ndinyanzele indlela yam eya kwisiphelo esenziwe kwangaphambili. Ndandinomsebenzi onzima wokubona imeko indijikelezile kunye nokufuna ulawulo.
Kodwa ubomi bokwenene abuyiyo. Kuhlala kukho ukuhanjiswa kweziganeko ezinokwenzeka. Izinto zenzeka eziye zibhiliyoni. Akukho mpendulo ngqo, enokuxelwa kwangaphambili kwizenzo zethu. Ubomi bethu ziinkqubo ezivulekileyo, apho naliphi na inani leziganeko ezingenakubonwa ezinokuthi zitshintshe indlela esizijonga ngayo kunye nemibono yethu ngamaxesha. Nokuba ezona zigqibo zibalulekileyo ebomini azinakubalwa- yiyo loo nto imitshato emininzi iphela ngoqhawulo-mtshato.
Ungazami ukuqikelela ukuba zeziphi iziqwenga ezizayo xa uzama ukuphucula imeko yakho. NjengoTetris, unokuzibeka nje kwindawo efanelekileyo ngaphandle kokufuna ukulawula ngokupheleleyo inkqubo odlala kuyo. Ngazo zonke iindlela, lawula kwaye uzicel 'umngeni ngokwakho - nzulu, yiya kuloo Tetris - kodwa ungalindeli naluphi na uhlobo ngenxa yokuba ukwenzile. Kwaye khumbula ...
4. Ebomini, akukho mntu ukuxelelayo xa uphumelele.
Kwi-chess, uya kubona ukuba umntu olichasayo ulala phezu kwenkosi yakhe ngokurhoxa. Uza kubona amanqaku okugqibela etumente athunyelwe. Uyakuva ukoneliseka loloyiso- ngaphandle kokuba, ngenye imini, awunalo.
Ndikhumbula mhla ndayeka ichess. Khange ndibethwe kwaye ndinikezele ngokudana. Ngapha koko, ndaphumelela itumente. Emva koko, andiziva nto.
Ngokwemithetho yeminyaka eliwaka yechess, zimbini kuphela iindlela zokuphulukana - nokutshekishwa, okanye ukurhoxa. Mhla ndayeka ichess, ndeza nenye. Ukuba ndandingafundi, ukuba ndandingayonwabeli imizabalazo okanye uloyiso, ndandisele ndilahlekile.
Isigqibo sokuyeka sasikhulula, sisoyikisa kwaye sidideka. Kutheni ndaziva ndikhululekile xa ndandincame enye yothando lwam lokuqala? Kodwa ukuyeka ukuziva kunesizathu sokuba uqale ukudlala i-chess uzive ulungile endaweni leyo- yayikukukhetha kwam ukwenza njalo . Kwaye ngeso sigqibo, ukhuphiswano lwam, i-causal chess mindset yaqala ukuba buthathaka, kwaye umbono wam wagqitywa ekugqibeleni.
Ngeli xesha, iTetris yaqala ukugcwalisa indawo yam yokudlala. Ndidlala iTetris yonke imihla, kwaye yonke imihla ndiwuthatha umdlalo ndisazi ukuba ndiza kuphulukana. Ndiza kudlala ixesha elingakanani ngaphambi kokuba ndilahle? Ziya kuhamba ngokukhawuleza kangakanani iziqwenga? Ndiza kufumana amanqaku angakanani? Ezo ziimetrikhi zomkhondo womkhondo. Kodwa ndongeze indlela yokuphumelela- ukuba ndidlala iTetris yonke imihla.
Ndiyakonwabela ukungalalanisi ekuzibekeleni iinjongo. Ndifumana ulwaneliseko olukhulu ngokwazi ukuba ndinokuzibekela umceli mngeni rhoqo kwaye ndiyihlasele mihla le. Nokuba ndiyifezekisile into endizimisele ukuyiphumeza, kuphela ndiyazi.
Ukudlala iTetris yonke imihla kwakha ukuzimisela kwam, ukugxila kwam, ukuthanda kwam ukuzingisa kwizinto endaziyo ukuba azinasiphelo. Kwaye andidlali ukuphumelela - ndidlala ukudlala.

Sonke kufuneka sidlala ubomi ukuze sidlale. Akufanele sibonane neentshaba zethu kuphela okanye sifune ukulawula.
Kuya kufuneka siyiqonde into yokuba ngumbono nje lo. I-Chess inokuba ngumdlalo onesizungu- kodwa kunjalo nakuTetris. Zombini zifuna umonde nokuzimisela. Zombini zifuna ingqondo evulekileyo.
