Here's a little chess 101: The king has to take things one step at a time, while the queen can do whatever she wants. Choose your player with our chess ring collection. The chess ring in queen features hues of light cyan in jadeite. Stacks perfectly with the king that features a darker cyan color. Weight: 4g Thickness: 3mm Width: 5mm Natural and untreated jadeite. Made by handwork of carving and polishing. Because of the gemstone’s natural characteristics, each piece may vary slightly in colors and textures. Avoid knocking against hard surfaces. Jade pieces are brittle and will break when hit with hard objects. Make sure that you take off your jewelery before you go swimming in a pool or hot tub. If you’re handing dirt and soil, quartz dust in the soil is abrasive to the stone. Avoid cleaning your jadeite with any acids or alcohol! It is suggested to only apply water or water mixed with mild soap to get it nice and clean.

Chess has always been of interest to cognitive psychologists because it provides a way of investigating processes like thinking, memory, problem solving and the differences between machine and human processes. Chess Players' Thinking presents a new view about experts' thinking and how it should be studied. It provides a comprehensive analysis of chess players' cognition, but its main results should be generalizable to broader research on human expertise.
