Children Don't Want to Have a Sudden Savage War, in Chess and not Only, and It Is Good!

 

                             


 Children Don't Want to Have a Sudden Savage War, 

                                        in Chess and not Only, 

                                        and It Is Good!

Dear readers, let me remind you the old game

Brescak - Hefti
EU-ch U10 Girls, 1998

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ draw agreed.


Very often chess is compared with a savage war, unfortunately. Chess is a sport which has no place for a human savageness. But this popular comparison can make its black work. Thus, after 4.Bxf7+ the girl Hefti could feel that the real sudden savage war came. And she wanted to make a peace, I think. And it is good! The girl Brescak could understand that her made 4th move is too aggressive and could feel that the savage war is beginning. And the draw - the peace - was made here! Thank you, dear children, for this good act!
