I just read in a “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell:
“Some of these new thinkers say if we have better intelligence, if we can see everything, we can’t lose. What my brother always says is, “Hey, say you are looking at a chess board. Is there anything you can’t see? No. But are you guaranteed to win? Not at all, because you can’t see what the other guy is thinking.”
This is quite an interesting book, by the way. And I was thinking about all those tools we have, all these technical indicators… Aren’t they supposed to help you “see everything”? Or maybe we do see everything, but to master the game we need skills to use all these information? And I think one of the skills is ability to filter out only that information that is important, to get rid of the “noise” in order to have a clear picture.
Just a thought.
