Auto-pilot on - Paleochora Round 4
Hello there, here I am with the round 4 recap from Paleochora! (Click for round 3 Recap HERE)
My opponent was 2300 rated FM, who was the first stronger opponent I faced this year, so I could say, I was somewhat anxious before the game, even though, that normally I prefer to play against higher rated people. Well, if I lose, that's considered the "expected", and if I do better than that, then that's amazing! So it means, they are the ones that can lose more from this game, so I can be relaxed and calm, right? Hahaha, NO. I believe, finding a better way to calm my nerves is a good goal for the future!
For now what I normally do, are to focus more on the "fun element" of the game, rather than the burden of performance, listen to music, especially my favourite fighting song, that helps me get pumped up, and/or take a nice nap or walk To some degree these help
And now, let's see the game!
Let me know what you think of the game in the comments! Or your ways to calm yourselves
