The document describes how the author lost a chess match in a school competition after underestimating his opponent. This loss caused him to realize he had a conceited attitude where he did not take opponents seriously. He then made an effort to change his attitude and treat all opponents with respect. He communicated this lesson to different people, including his parents and the opponent he lost to, and found they were supportive and wanted him to learn from the experience. The author now warns others against underestimating opponents based on his own lesson.

- 4. I took part in a school level chess contest when I was 10 years old. I had an encounter with one of my classmates in the semifinal. He almost never beat me before. I lost because I underestimated my opponent. It made me shift.
- 5. Before this contest, I was a little bit conceited. Especially when I met something that I thought I was familiar with. Until I met the opponent who had the real strength, I didnt realize that what I did could be no more wrong. After this contest, I knew I should change my Attitude. I should treat everything seriously and should not underestimate my opponents.
- 6. If I underestimate my opponents, I may give them the opportunities to see my flaws. Then they would attack me in a way I am not prepared to defend myself against. When I underestimate my enemy, I will pay the final price.
- 7. I communicated this shift to different people in different ways and got different responses. I thought deeply for what I should change and what I should tell the others. In the one hand, I want to do some explanation for myself that why I lost the game. In the other hand, I hoped other people could learn from my story.
- 8. I told my parents why I lost the game. They encouraged me and told me that I should learn from this lesson. To my surprise, my parents said that they had already known that I have the weak point that I was easy to be conceited. They just did not speak out and let me learn from my own mistakes. I did really appreciate what my parents did to me.
- 9. I also told my classmate who beat me in the semifinal. He was a modest person and also one of my best friends. He admitted that he did a lot of preparation in order to increase the probability of beating me in semifinal. He also said that he hope I could be better and take my opponents seriously in the future.
- 10. I have seen many people who underestimated their opponents. I told them my story and hope they could change their attitude. I persuaded some of them and most of them did a good job. The other people who ignore my dissuasion were finally failed to finish a good work.
- 11. My coach used my story to warn his group after group of trainees to let them know that the most important thing in playing chess are not only skills and proficiency but also attitude that never underestimate the opponents.
