We have a new world chess champion. Yesterday, Ding Loren from China beat Ian Nepomniachtchi from Russia in a rapid tie break after a tied 14-game match (they recorded three wins each and eight draws). I have long been an admirer of Ding's: he is a brave player and it did not surprise me that when things got really tense he prevailed over the more fluent Nepo. (The match was Ding vs Nepo to all chess fans and, incidentally, Ian is pronounced Yan.) The two contested the match because the reigning world champion, Magnus Carlsen of Norway, declined to defend his title.

The long years of life and experience will often prod me to think of the bigger picture – because there always is one. We often pay a lot of attention to the never-ending stream of details that act like dynamic currents controlling the tempo of our daily lives. Naturally, they distract us from the more constant and enduring layers of life that thrive more beneath our view of the surface. Especially in difficult times, there are moments, incidents, and personalities that urgently draw our focus because they seem life-changing or life-threatening.
