I do it a lot and then get frustrated at losing. Pretty dumb, isn't it?

part of the reason i started playing games over 3 days was to cut down the odds of being forced to move whilst out drinking or otherwise occupied. but when you're on hols around a pool, you can barely see the screen and ya tanked up? its not good for your game. ha ha

I agree, mostly, drop the word counselling. :)

 I went to happy hour during the week and played a few moves while drinking at the bar during  a couple games.  Damn I made some stupid moves.  The good thing about playing chess drunk is when you do something dumb, you can blame it on the drink.  When I am sober, I can't blame my blunders on booze.

problem is, when you're drinking you think your moves are genius. and then there's the next day. :(

Yes, I was even bragging to the guy sitting next to me how I just took an advantage.  Then I left a rook hanging.
