No Fear only Fun

To perform at our best it takes courage to face unknown paths that many will shy away from.
Many times a variation will be unclear yet correct. Another common theme involving fear is that one player makes a sacrifice that would blow open the opponents king cover. The defender fearful of this the sacrifice does not accept it and the first player wins a pawn or other strategic victory without even giving up a pawn.
The quote "there is nothing to fear but fear itself" is great one. It does not mean play recklessly but simply means, fear for fear sakes improves the quality of nothing. By being afraid of things, our games gets limited by to many rules. You can still be careful and thoughtful, live in them moment and analyze every variation you can, just play the best move even if it is scary.

"There is nothing to fear but fear itself"

Last note playing without fear is fun! You can enjoy the game and the variations without spending a lot of time and brainpower on the possibility of losing, your ego, or other things unrelated and therefore detrimental to winning and playing your best.
