life as chess

Given a well-constructed set of rules, only a few solutions exist, yet moves must be made to progress.

Each action/step/move can be made with anger or poise. Either way, it must be made.

You do not have to play the game gracefully, but you must keep in mind the outcome you wish. Playing with rage can achieve your outcome, but in the iterative game of life, it alienates potential allies who see the move, not the game.
