Here is a game I recently played on live chess whilst watching TV and making moves on my turn based chess games. I try not to do this as it seems to put me in some strange zombified state where I'm not really concentrating properly and I end up playing in an auto-pilot sort of way. Not really looking where I'm going, just moving pieces into positions I know to be sort of correct. (This goes okay through an opening I know but when it gets to the middle game it ends up looking horrendous). In this example I noticed the position looked like I had a chance at Legall's mate and ended up going wrong. Enjoy the incompetence of my play:
very interesting game...may be your opponent was in auto-pilot....
nice game.
thank you
I play like that all the time! While playing live, I move in other games, listen to music, do tactics trainer or chess mentor, and post in the forums.
I don't know what it's like to not play in auto-pilot...
