Chess Game

During a game of Chess, somewhere after first few moves, a thought comes into my head.
'What an excellent finish I could have had, had I this had this particular pawn one square ahead'.
'Only if the Rook was free to attach the king'.. and so on.

However, in this thought, the beauty of the game is lost. And so are many opportunities.

It is important to dream.. but dream should be about what can be done to the present situation and not to "What if ...".
