Michael Rahal, international chess master and coach of the Spanish and Catalan Chess Federation, highlighted the importance of emotional control in decision making, both on a personal level and in the field of chess in the conference entitled "Chess: transversalities, decision making and personal development" organised by the Ciutat de Castelló Chair.

In his talk, Michael Rahal used the triple facet of chess as a sport, science and art. Firstly, he reflected on the management of time when making a decision and the a priori expectation of whether this time will be sufficient. "If we perceive a significant time constraint, our behaviour can lead us to make more mistakes due to a lack of self-control over the a priori time pressure," he said. Related to this, Rahal also pointed to the importance of maintaining the ability to concentrate over a long period of time, an aspect that is crucial in competition at the highest level. He also reflected on the possibility of making mistakes and the fact of "assuming a priori that, as humans, we can make mistakes repeatedly". Finally, he gave some examples with competitive games of successes and errors derived from the management of the three previous elements.
