"You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player." - José Raúl Capablanca Playlist on Spotify: sptfy.com/classical_chess Support Me + Wallpapers: ko-fi.com/classicalmusicbut
I realized that I immediately assumed the cat on the left is the Grandmaster of the two. After looking more closely, I think it's because of the mane, and the slightly more relaxed posture. Those give an air of confidence. Its eyes are calculating, and focused on the chessboard. This cat is also wearing a cool blue coat, giving the impression of calmness, but self-assuredness. Finally, it is on the shadowed side of the picture, evoking mystery, and also making the cat's body shine more brightly in contrast. I feel as if it knows exactly what it's doing but gives no clues to its opponent. In opposition, the cat on the right has less fluff and is leaning forward, looking across the table at the other cat intensely. This give it the appearance of being younger, more emotionally volatile, and the air that it has something to prove. Its fiery orange suit adds to this feeling. This cat has rays of sun shining down on it, highlighting its passion and ferocity. This cat is immensely skilled, but is more prone to acting brashly, which may ultimately be its downfall in this game.
I actually made the mix, turned out great I think. But the vid got fake copyright claimed and blocked - I hope the claim gets released and I can publish it in the next few weeks.
I like the compilation and it would be really useful to get the REAL names of the pieces next to the timestamps. At least I would like to know the one at 47:42. Thank you :)
