At the top , you get to test lots of different stuff 
While starting out,you tend to ,and should, stick to the rules 
Past a certain level,you get a big picture of the game 
And it gets easier to break the rules without hurting yourself or messing your process 
Thinking of this ,more and more lately
Curious to hear what others think too
							
							
						 
Moving things forward becomes a game of chess and the end you seek is to checkmate.
While you may not win all the chess games you play ,you certainly can become better at it than those who you play with.
