Karma

Had been busy watching chess. So, now it's time for philosophy. Today's topic is Karma.

Karma is an abstruse topic. That's why I was not writing about it. It's not easy to quantify the karma. If i knowingly kill a mosquito how much bad karma I will get? No body knows. No body can know. If we have taken this body then we have to do Karma. There is no way out. Except in Samadhi. Except samadhi every activity is Karma. Samadhi is the only phenomena when all the Karma dissolves. Because, at the time of samadhi there is no doer. Karma needs doer. Doer does karma. If no doer, no karma. The doer has to vanish.

Secondly, if you are the observer of Karma. Then karma won't bind you. Because, you are just an observer. An acute observer is free from Karma. Whole life we do Karma. And what do we get out of it. Nothing. Look at the child. They have done less karma, they are happy. We did more karma, we became unhappy. Because, the observance of karma was missing. We didn't observe. We just did without observing it. Because, we were not taught to do like that. Because, our teachers, our parents, our friends didn't know anything about observation. Because, they were also not taught. The knowledge was lost. And is still lost. Don't think what you have learnt in the schools and colleges in a haphazard manner is the only reality. In my view that's the holy bullshhhhit they have taught us. Our education system is one of the most important factor in creating a perverted society. We need more people like Buddha, Jesus. Else the whole of the humanity will get destroyed. Humanity never moved in the right direction. Humanity had been always against of truth. Always. Else we would have a happy cheerful humanity by now. Today we do not have cheerful humanity. So, tomorrow also we would not have. Then day after tomorrow also. And it will continue...like we have been working for 5000 years for better humanity and we could not achieve it by now. So, just like that in the next 5000 years we are not going to have a cheerful humanity. Unless otherwise we have lots and lots of people like Buddha. Our need is not to create engineers who know just F=MA and nothing else. We need to create persons who understand why does F=MA work? What makes F=MA work.We should not create just lame engineers who just has remember F=MA like a parrot. The point I am trying to state is we need more contented humanity. After Jesus, nobody became like him in Christianity. After Buddha, nobody became like him in Buddhism. The rate of making of enlightened being is too less. That's why we have problems.

I want to make whole of humanity like Buddha. Not even a single person should escape from truth. I have no intention to create engineers/doctors/MBA who just know superficially. Think, I mentioned this in any of my previous post - if we have even a single unhappy person that will make the whole of humanity unhappy. So, every body has to be happy. Like Buddha. I know it's not easy to happen. That's the only way out to create a cheerful humanity. Every living being has to attain the truth and become like Buddha at the same time. Otherwise, there is no way out.

Anand Won

Anand won. Congrates to him. For defending the title against russian V Kramnik. Anand was in need of just half point to attain the life time mission. Notably, Kramnik had a spectacular win in just 29 moves over Anand in the last game. However, as he started the last game with e4 the result was pretty known what's gonna happen. When Anand played e4 with white was very difficult for the russian to defeat him when he had not won any match in the last 2 years playing with black. He is the 2nd non-russian world champion after Bobby Fischer. Fischer was a mad genius of the chess. He doesn't follow much of opening theory like Kasparov.

I thoughroughly enjoyed Anand-Kramnik games watching live on chesscube.com Things I learnt is even grandmasters also take upto 30 mins to play a single move, sometimes. Lol.

A long game but not draw. Had to take few moves back at the time of beginning of end game. ;) Click here to follow the game.

Started the game in Sicilian defence e4. It was a comparatively complex middle game. Strategically, on 21.Bxh6 I sacrificed my bishop to break Nagaskaki's kingside castle. Which ultimately yielded an advantage of a rook over bishop. However, the endgame was also tricky.

Please be noted that PGN viewer I am using doesn't work with Chrome browser. It works with latest firefox and IE of course.

Weldone Kramnik!

Thanks Kramnik for drawing the game. Lol. Kramnik opted for slav defence. Again d4 business. Both player were playing at their best. So, no one could gain any advantage. However, Anand's position was slightly relatively stronger but unfortunately he couldn't make much use of it. They agreed to draw.

Kramnik WCC 2008

Kramnik what's wrong with you. You lost 3 games. If you can't win then you should draw the games. I know you can draw easily. Most of the player loose becuase they want to win. I think Anand will peacefully retain his world championship title opting for draws in the worst case in the subsequent games. 

Some of the move Kramnik played was too trivial. A grandmaster playing such moves is surprising. Only a miracle can stop Anand to retain his title.

There is something new in these mataches. First is they are starting the game with d4. I don't know why they are not playing e4. I want to see an e4 game. e4 is the best possible move. Secondly, Anand is not castling. This is strange. Castling keeps your king safe but that same time you loose one move in just castling. Anand's strategy is to use that move for other purpose. What Ananad is doing is he is able to save the king without castling. And that's what the logic says. If you can save your king and attack too without castling then why to castle? This strategy is working for him so far. However, Anand's king did got into trouble at times but that was pre-calculated by him.

I found Anand doesn't follow classical chess. He loves to break the rules. In game 5 he had not pawns in a b c file in contrast with Kramnik's 2 pawns back to back. Remember although pawns are weak pieces but they have potential to become queen, the strongest piece on the board. So, basically no one likes to do that. But, Anand did and won the match too. That shows his perfectness. So, far Anand is playing superb game. He moves same as suggested by supercomputer. Even Kramnik too. I don't know why Kramnik is not able to convert it to win. Kramnik had defeated Kasparov also. Kasparov is the most fundamental player in the history. I yet am keeping eyes on the games. 6 more matches to go. Result is known yet hoping for miracles...Lol

Chess

Had been long since I could play a game. Click here to follow a boring long draw. Lol

Analysis:

Started the game in my favorite Sicilian defense manner without any apparent advantage. I aligned my pieces to fight on c5 square but Nagaskaki chose to fight on c4 square where I didn't have any extra attack. That finished the middle game without any appreciable advantage to either side. In the end game I had to scarifice my bishop to eat away two potential strong pawn. I could convert a pawn into queen but lost immediately by eating black's bishop. After that the game ended with a trival draw.

WCC Anand-Kramnik 4th game

The game was draw. What to analyze a draw game. Lol. Both were playing well. The game started in queen's gambit style. Again I don't have much experience in this variation but essentially what it does is, it generates lame d5 black pawn. Then Kramnik had to exert lots of energy in just saving the d5 pawn. However, Kramnik was able to get hold of d4 square pushing the Anand's rook on d3 which enabled Kramnik to play d4. Which ultimately yielded a draw game. The way how Kramnik got hold on the centre squares is by pushing Anand's white bshop on g2 enabling Kramnik's knight on c5 to capture e6 square which in turn push Anand's rook to d3 as described above.

Overall a boring draw game. Waited 4 hours to see a draw. Let's see what's gonna happen on Monday. I am expecting Kramnik to start with sicilian defence. Enough of d4 business. He has enough time to make strategy for Monday.
