Dropping Out of School into the Markets

There is yet to be a chess player who can calculate the entire game right from the beginning to the end. Even the best supercomputer capable of brute-computing millions of positions to defeat the mighty Kasparov can see a limited number of moves ahead.

Beginnings are tricky.

Beginnings also matter the most, lest life capitalizes on your errors to deal a lethal ‘Fool’s Mate’.

Like chess – the game, my life so far can be traced back to a tale of ‘1001 blunders’ – as the legendary Grandmaster Savielly Tartakower put it – ‘a struggle against one’s own errors’.

And trust me when I say that I have made many, many mistakes. I will also maintain that I can’t wait to make many new ones.
