routines are good before a club match i walk in the park and this seems to work for me as i leave any mental pressures there funnily enough being a captain gives me more brainache when i get there lol
kickstarting brain performance?
Sort:
I identify 100% with this siruation,to add I all I would say that during this bad episode I become frustated and start losing game after game and this further adds to my frustation and viscious circle sets in. I think this happens when one has played too many games and this puts extra pressure on brain specially when you have others thinkgs in mind our brain is like a computer when so many tasks are performed it sometimes hangs. During this situation I think best think to do is just stop playing and restart your brain by diverting your mind to some pleasureable things like fantasising a date or even having a cup of coffea. However this is my opinion and I dont know how big players are trained for maximum efficiency
Have you ever noticed dramatic changes in your performance? So that one week you win game after game and chess flows- and then the next week you couldn't even beat anyone?
I notice that when things click for me there is something like a song that plays and the pieces move in my head. But When I can't play there is this dull silence in my head and I can't force myself through it.
Anyone know of tricks to kickstart brain to wakeup and analyze?
