Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi did more than others for the study of such natural attention, and proposed the name "flow" has firmly entered the language. Experienced the feeling of flow describe it as "a state of deep, relaxed concentration, where one loses the sense of time itself, and their own problems," and the joy experienced in this state are so compelling that Csikszentmihalyi has called it an "optimal experience." A variety of classes - from painting to racing - produces a state of flow, and for some authors even writing a book becomes an optimal experience. The well stream separates the two forms of effort: concentration on the task and systematic control of attention.

- Sometimes you sacrifice the Queen for the good of the whole Kingdom.
- Yes, but sometimes even a simple pawn can become a Queen and hurt to grab ass.

World chess champion Emanuel Lasker once said: "If you see a good move, look for a much better move".

From the point of view of the pawns are only visible companions on each side and the enemies on the other side of the field. The king sees the chess Board differently. The worst enemies surround him. The tokens can lock the king in a trap. And then Shah and death. Chess, the Witcher is art to sacrifice their own pawns.
