Chess players do this all the time, making connections between openings, pawn structures, and endgames. So, as a fighting game player, subconsciously I may make a connection between say, the french defence and Sophitia, as both are play in a classical defensive yet counter-attacking style. Therefore whenever you learn something new, it separates itself into those files.Ĭhess is also connections made between patterns you've seen before. Similarly, just like how I have memories separated into different places such as who my mom and dad are, who my boss is, who my friend is, etc., there are also special files for what the sicilian defence is, what the french defence is, what combos are for Ivy, what combos are for Amy and so on. So learning a new opening is like meeting a new person, and the more you learn about it, the more gets stored in that file of the brain. From what I've heard, chess patterns are stored in the same part of our brain as facial recognition. I think it has to do with where chess and these games are stored in the brain. She's a lot of memorization and sharp play, but is rewarding to those who have the ability to learn her." For example, when I taught my friends how to play Ivy, I began with "Learning Ivy is like learning the Sicilian defense. Also, I find that certain characters play like certain openings.
It's odd, but sometimes when I learn new techniques with a character or learn a little bit more about how to play better, the next time I play chess i get slightly better and vice versa. Me and my friends play in chess tournaments, however on our free time we play soulcalibur together and strangely enough, our skills in both areas not only parallel but also complement eachother. Just so I don't go analysing all the possible formats for such a competition before I get any real input about this idea of mine. Instead, why not make Virtual Chess Fighting (or however you'd like to call it - other name suggestions, please? I feel mildly awkward about this one at the moment xD) a professional mixed discipline? Surely, the viability of such a concept is undeniable, if not outright impeccable! I think chess and fighting games really require remarkably similar skillsets - in fact, the parallels run so deep that I'm not even the first person to notice, even though I haven't found any real propositions for this kind of a "biathlon" anywhere else! Now, I've already heard of chess boxing, but such a combination is most probably ultimately detrimental to chess skill of any players in the field who aren't competent or lucky enough to plough victoriously through all of their chess games before they "drink" a few "headshots", seeing as it's not quite in the nature of chess pros' jobs to lose their minds in such a fashion, exactly.
