β™ŸοΈ CHESS β™ŸοΈ

My goal is to play and connect through chess. By writing down my thought process, I feel more confident about the choices I make in the game and feel less pressure from my toxic parent mode. I have no idea how I would handle the time pressure if I were to play against a person. My current bandwidth allows for thisβ€”to get absorbed in the analysis, step by step, and try to enjoy the strategic planning regardless of the outcome. I need to make room to play, open up and connect. That’s why I’m starting with this chess puzzle.

Right now, I’m using a free account, so my scores aren’t reflected in the percentage overview for the themed puzzles, nor in my total puzzle rating. This activates my toxic parent mode, and I notice it distracts me and takes away some of my enjoyment. I need to stop this mode to create more space to simply enjoy the game and make decisions from a calmer mental state. Fortunately, this page serves as a source of external validation that I solved it. I ended up on another page to customize colors, and chose pinkπŸ’•. I also need to learn how to give myself internal validation when I solve a chess puzzle. A reward for patiently analyzing in a meaningful and healthy way, and a reward if the final step of the decision-making process, the conclusion, solves the puzzle.
