Hi guys.I'm rather pissed off at myself at the moment. Tonight was the second chess club night in a row in which I played an excellent game for a while, only to give the game completely out of my hands with one hasty move.
I hate that feeling so much. It probably affects me way more than it should.
And I am ready to clobber anyone who dares say "It's only a game!" Oh, yeah? Then why do our palms sweat, our hearts race, our blood pressures rise? It's not "only a game" -- It's real life captured on a board.
And we always go back for more.
I know the feeling.
It's easy to get careless or lazy in your thinking, and it only takes one bad move... it's probably the #1 reason I end up losing a chess game.
Last night went alot better
