I introduce myself my name is arnaud
hauchard me I do not see you but it’s
the first time I have been you but
good a priori you see I’m tall
international chess master
I was captain for almost ten
years of national teams
in women than in men and
I also coach young people during
very long and for example maxim
vachier lagrave who was number 2
global two or three months ago and I
will train for eight years
up to 2740 good lots
it’s quite technical but it was
already a very good level before they
we leave for for a club more
rich what just opened
good then for the little anecdote I
am recorman of the world a record pretty
stupid based on the deprivation of
sleep when manual valls wanted that
the evry club becomes the champion of
France I wanted to make a mark at
telethon making a world record
deprivation of sleep and parties
chess nonstop and oddly there
still
on the picture there you see was
never fit 80 3h39 gets along well at
play non- stop chess
so obviously I’m known for that
a little bit and I already have the label
of original player then obviously I
do not recommend to do this kind
of competitions it’s a bit like the
food contest I did the
two sailboats it ‘s not going really
succeeded and I never recovered the
sleep that I had when I was
baby
so it was really stupid but good
it was an experience then contact
of the best world players I have
attended throughout my career I
I was interested in the personality
players because finally we
learns sometimes two hours
face against an opponent that any one
life of fellowship is where we
would really hurt the player
unveils
and therefore the corollary between
personality and style of play to
failures and the way people get
include outside the chessboard and
I became interested in all these
illustrious and current people who
are great champions for example a
a modest player on the chessboard like
I met people who do not
do not really steal the conflict that
want to play quietly can not
can not become big
champions and it’s a bit like in the
life when we have no ambition we can
not complain after having missed his
life you have to have a moment
take risks and have ambition
a contrario a contrario when I am
fell on very very arrogant people
because there is a lot of ego failure
we may also have problems
in his professional life
the lack of diplomacy the feeling of
superiority
we must avoid all this is very
bad and a lot of players have
planted and were very arrogant and
did they have a lot of enemies and
finally in the end they stayed
isolated
so you also have to know why keep
so for the little story
formerly I was at the club of the noun
at scop who no longer exists a club in
the 16th and as you see at
the time it was dsk who was playing at
club of the noun chess club
alas after good change of a small
little change is nothing live style
on the left where you recognize
manual valls the first time I have
deal with a politician
of scale at the time in addition it is
very very he was very well known
and he had a pretty game style
tortuous enough powerful very strong
chess player these are the two
best politicians player
chess he had a style is
enjoyed the long parties the
parties or strangling it little by little
like the boa constrictor his prey and he
did not want to win
quickly
he liked to sit in length and
take your time and strive
traps to change it was it was
a whole movie through the game and
appreciate it obviously playing this
way thereafter in 2009 when I
joined the debris club I had
the opportunity to face manual valls on
the chessboard and I was surprised by the
difference of style and there all of
after
they attack without frills he takes
at the throat he wants direct combat and
he has a game almost like in a book
open and rather impatient strangely
that’s a little bit of what
reflected through the media and and
I found it quite amusing and I
so compared to just about every
personalities that I knew and the
how they play chess
and finally when we want to know
a political opponent or an opponent
you just have to study his
chess style and we learn a lot
of things about him then the difference
between the great champions
the champions where the forces of amateurs
it is obviously the colossal work
good I think here a lot of people
know what it’s like to write work that
it makes the difference but in chess
so you have to question yourself
when you lose there are a lot of
players who always say that’s the
bad luck it was I was
sick I believe in this variant
we have to accept to see reality in
face and fill a little left
gaps and point out his weaknesses
I had the game experts case
experience with very players
talented but who had an ego
oversized
so he was not listening to me he
not listened to the friends and the
advice from the masters of the past and
finally they did not see their
mistakes because for them he was
strong in all areas but place of
game final start we could nothing their
to say it was the fault of no luck
in general these players there are not doing
great thing either so here are the
excess is often bad all
champions I met in my
life had the goal not only
to play well but a little bit of
revolutionize the game is what makes
also the mark of a great champion by
example without going into a detail that
the inter has too technical
a fool is worth three points a rider a
the same we summarize in terms of pawns and
some prefer the crazy some
prefer riders in the state
current evolution of the game we do not know
still not that’s the mystery too
of the game if the madman is superior to
eternal riders debate that sometimes
made me do sleepless nights
I always elsewhere as
example maxime vachier lagrave
who became the super star that that
we know from the age of 8 9 years as
if he was already an adult
he understood that it was the moment
already to swallow piles of
knowledge and he’s always been to
their soul and run always been polite
always listened to the masters of the
passed a lot of respect for those who
have finally manufactured especially the
Soviet chess since it is they
precursors in
renewal of the game and
and also he was always on the page
that is to say in modernity
patronize friends or stronger player
its age to put itself at the forefront
high level of technology with the
better computer the modules and he
lived with his time but he used
the good sides in both in the
two in both spheres at the
ancient and modern
so he’s there when he started to
play chess he has all the
principles and precepts of the game is
there that it quickly and early
adolescence around 12-13 years old he has
started to already react like a
champion ie he has he
wanted to amaze me that is to say they
now knew almost everyone
than what I currently know
but he wanted to show his paw saying
here I found that I
revolutionize this early I found
new ideas I’m sure we
can refute the swim of the ccid etc
the technical terms and so it was
it’s the mark of the champions it does not
not just content to learn
and understand but he wanted to innovate
he already loved to suffer like all
champions
good we prefer to win but to
the time he was playing against magnus
carlsen I remember very well at
lausanne tournament
magnus carsen who is the champion of
current world is the best player of
all the time probably there was
had fierce struggles with
and even when they lost he was
happy to have given everything and he loved
to transcend on the chessboard to be
really suffer from the data the better
because he knew an opportunity
like to go could not not get
represent so he always gave the
maximum against a champion he even
besides at his scalp several
world champions
obviously we are not number two
world by chance so I have a lot
traveled to about 50 countries since one
do not like a lot of money at chess
especially but we are often in
trip so does every country and so
actually I have a great
experience of chess through the
world
so I got interested
to emerging countries I went in
China in India and the United States and I
understand I understand better what we
separates from these countries because for
why we are having
lagging behind countries like China and
india
will you tell me in france in france each
young at a computer a tablet a
phone everything he is acquired he
get off his house and take the subway
he already has the best club in France
ambac sully for those lucky
to live in Ile de France we open the
door that opens the door to a master
international or a big m like it’s
the case in evry for them that’s all to
does normal sauce no questions
only when you go to China or
India
sometimes you have to do a thousand kilometers
to find an international master I
do not even speak of grandmaster
but the regions in the united states cited
in the kansas bacon good luck for
find a chess teacher then
when I was abroad during
the world championships where the
championships in Europe rather
world championship that’s what we
concerned
young I gave internships
voluntarily finally I wanted
know the young countries I wanted
know what Vietnamese people
Chinese had in the belly and so
I want to share my knowledge with
young and I wanted I was curious about
see their methods a little
of learning I also discussed that
coaches from those countries then
while the children of my
delegation relaxes
outside classes in rooms
to play at the playstation
go on facebook lol I did nothing
I won while they saw each other
five minutes before lunch he
talk about the game while good eh
well during that time the little ones
chinese indians whores them
people who did not have everything on one
silver platter he looks at me and me
look with a sparkling look and
eager for information and
knowledge
despite all that makes the difference
between the real life of some
professions and chess
it is for the moment the level
technology is not critical
i.e. that
a player who would come from the depths of
india if he falls on a master
international and old books
can quickly become a champion
does not need to have the last
computer and the latest collection
in some of a certain some
trains some certain professions on
we still have vence and we
can we still rest on our
technological advances
but right now I finally noticed
it’s even very likely and in
a few years we find more than
Western players in the top 100
global
even in the short term it will not happen to
slipped 3 European but right now
there are Indian and Chinese players who
come out every day from the big
masters who have the knife between
teeth and who want their share of the
cake
because they have the cult of work
they were taught at school that he
had to work and the failures that’s
like any sport at last I
technical
that’s a little bit of the inconvenience of
chess is only to know how to play
correctly, you still have to
learn a lot of things that’s what
rebuff a little the people who
would like to have fun the wow times to the
poker is still easier
is common in France to meet
teachers from eastern countries blog ‘s
the former Eastern Bloc and at the time
I was not aware of it but
we had welcomed and boris spassky who
was chess world champion there
also their fans were entering the
poor class of candidates for title
global we did not realize
luck we had we said yes
we are happy to welcome here
he was the communist regime but no
it was fantastic
we did not succeed then to really
welcome them as needed
really had to take advantage of them and make
lots of things with them no we
welcome good here it file system but
we did not realize at all
chance we had and over the years
I also noticed that my students
to start a feigning t in France that’s
to say that now that everything is
accessible from a click I must
walk I premature I work them
safety sorting trees the blow you play
that you click and now they are
all of pacific incredible passivity
instead of being interactive and
chat with buddies let’s say that is
what are you playing on monochrome 5
I remember when I hit the
costs on the chessboard
and there he clicks he ingested
click and finally now they
wait for all of them to be served
without really doing the real effort
they will not look for the
information themselves they expect
to do all the work then he is
obvious that if Europe’s old
europe do not wake up we’re going
continue to lose ground
we must question ourselves and
rolled up his sleeves
unfortunately the short bar chess
can stop quickly and we’ll
have a drink and everything at all is
quiet but in the life of all
days
it’s another pair of sleeves but the
unstoppable finding
just see how it goes
in chess the year problem of
Europeans it is the child king and the
feeling of superiority that we have
report to others
and sometimes when we lose an I do not
say I full you propose to watch
on czech base I was winning I
lost against an Indian who has 200 for the
aude – and yeah but he played until
end and he knew his echoes and
here he has worked more than you he has
he was at the bottom of things he has he got
remember 2 to and here and
now it hurts ben yes you have
beautiful having the last computer last
shout
it was not enough of course it exists in
know how to do French even chess
we have an important failure culture
but we must question ourselves and
unfortunately or fortunately it’s I
do not really know it’s okay
in more quickly now the computer is
so strong that actually we can
more live but you need what you need
you also have to get used to
meet players
here are two with different styles
you have to get up to speed and evolve
and now if we want to exist must
work and work
nevertheless, it is not necessary that this
become an obsession of work because
that I had cases of chess players
who have lives that they have lived as
of Stakhanovists in from to 700 in
cutting off all the social bond they
had with others to lock themselves
in a room and as you know
in the movies and in the ears in
the books it often ends badly a
a little tour to the chp and
that’s why we have to open up to
world and know his opponents in
outside the chessboard it teaches us
a lot
and these are additional weapons
because when you know the
character of the people outside one can
guess a little bit what will happen
in parts and we can adapt
so do not go overboard
with technological progress the hall
in the face of the world has changed the way
to think about changing it now
go faster and faster in full of
areas for example I noticed
a new champion remains just
to appear now we have people
a little locked up a little autistic it says
in quotation marks but we have a lot
fewer arrogant people like before where
the rakaa champions but the revenge in
saying I am superior I have everything
understood to chess because
the computer was not there for them
contradict
now a simple click I played
like a truffle even the grand master
karl scene who is world champion
does not really have things against a
slow computer on a module against a
module on a lambda computer he
would unfortunately lose it’s sad
it removes some charm and
poetry and finally from romanticism to
failures but hey that’s the vision the
realistic vision of the game you must not
look for the best cost it takes
must counteract the opponent
now we must give up
the idea that we touch the truth is
the grail is a loss of energy
it’s the same in your life was not looking
not to be smarter than the others
on a domain it is simply necessary
now in this competitive area
is better than the others so you have to
to annoy the opponent to failures
very simple because after we stay
good friends we bothered the opponent
during the match but by
example a player who likes to exchange the
pieces and well we keep these parts
have energy a player who loves
enduring parts have greece all
right away so it’s more important
to be pragmatic and to play
the most effective shots then
learn understand what you
learn of course and try to play
the right move at the right time because
as in life there will not be 36
opportunities the players have lost the
world champion title on one shot
you have to choose the right move to the right one
moment and like that it is there you
can you try everything ?
will have nothing to regret
so you have to seize the opportunities and
I will finish with a sentence of tartas
than at the greens which was a big
French champion who said to just
title whoever takes risks can
lose and but whoever does not take
to lose is always
[Applause]
