The Seven Deadly Chess Sins

According to Tisdall, the seven deadly chess sins are:

Impatience: The desire to move quickly without proper planning and consideration.
Laziness: The unwillingness to analyze positions deeply or calculate variations.
Hubris: The belief that one is infallible and immune to mistakes.
Fear: The apprehension of taking risks or making bold moves.
Greed: The desire to capture too much material or win too quickly.
Anger: The loss of emotional control when faced with setbacks or mistakes.
Despair: The belief that one is doomed to failure or unable to improve.

These sins are not mutually exclusive, and chess players often find themselves struggling with multiple sins simultaneously. However, by understanding the nature of these sins and their impact on chess thinking, players can begin to develop strategies to overcome them.
