Something about fighting is just different. I guess there are other individual sports like tennis, but I don't know. There are a bunch of different layers and it's an extremely different activity, but there are a lot more similarities in my opinion-when you talk about a one-on-one physical fight-than there are with team sports. In chess, you can play a hundred games in a day, but the same thing applies. In fighting, they talk about the fact that if you suffer a knockout or a big setback, it really affects you moving forward, and they perform like once or twice a year. So there's an overlap basically at every stage, except one is physical and one is mental.Ī lot of it is psychological. You can prepare for certain things by studying openings. You study people's tendencies before the fight with video, just like in chess. You have a strength, they have a weakness. There are a lot of similarities in chess, you can have a style, much like individuals have styles in fighting. You can have your team prepare you, but when you get there, it is completely yourself. But I think there is probably no greater sport to compare to chess than fighting because it has every element to start with, it's actually a one-on-one activity. Even in team sports, they like to say it's like a chess match. I think a lot of people try to make comparisons to chess and I think a lot of them are pretty stupid, like in the business world.
