If you make a mistake, your opponent can punish, and you end up losing the game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game.
And learn that when you do make a mistake, you'll surface that mistake so you can get it corrected, rather than trying to hide it and bury it, and it becomes a much bigger mistake, and maybe a fatal mistake.
People do make mistakes and I think they should be punished. But they should be forgiven and given the opportunity for a second chance. We are human beings.
When I make a mistake once, it's usually not going to happen again.
Mistakes are part of the game. It's how well you recover from them, that's the mark of a great player.
If a magician makes a mistake, it's sometimes forgiven by the audience. If a gambling cheat makes a mistake, they will almost certainly lose their lives - and probably in a horrible manner.
You learn something every time you make a mistake.
A mistake is simply another way of doing things.
If, during the course of the game, it be discovered that any error or illegality has been committed in the moves of the pieces, the moves must be retraced, and the necessary correction made, without penalty.
A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
