My mind wanders too much when playing offline games. Any tips on how to concentrate better? At some point I make dumb moves and lose games. I feel like my mind is in the game then a girl walks by...
I was just thinking about concentration and how strongly it effects me. Kids ask a question, I loose the game. Apparently i am not able to evaluate the position objectively. I need my line of thought.
if you are serious about winning, then only play in a distraction free environment and at times when you don't have other things going on in the background. personally, I put on headphones while I'm playing. It also helps a lot with concentration to only play when well rested/fed. i used to just play whenever and my concentration definitely suffered and i lost way more often.
Well rested and well fed. This is good advice. I've learnt not to play when working nights as shift work plays havoc with my reasoning and tactical skills. Also do not play if you've had a recent arguement with your partner or your footy team has lost. A calm mind is a must to be at your best.

Or it's lunchtime, the ice cream truck jingles
