Extreme fatigue because excessive chess playing

Avatar of bgjettguitar
I become so tired after playing chess nonstop for anything over 15 minutes or so. I literally collapse oftentimes whether I’m seated or standing up. It makes feel stupid and people on the subway laugh at me when I fall from a standing position. I’ve been hurt severely from these sudden falls and twice now, I’ve been beaten and have my iPhone storing due to being in such a vulnerable unconscious position —no fault of my own. The last time I collapsed on the subway, I struck ny face on the metal floor and my teeth were shattered and required extraction. Likewise, my nose and entire facial orbit fragmented and is irreparably mashed in and now quite unsightly. I’m sure I’m not the only one this has happened to and I’m looking forward to receiving emotional, mental and communal support from this compassionate group here on chess.com. Thanks in advance for all of the advise and encouragement.

They should have referred you, e.g. to a neurologist.

But if you want this horse's diagnosis, it's seizure, stroke, or severe constipation.

Likely constipation. I recommend a diet of oats.

And I'm referring you to a psychologist. Good luck!

 I'd hit my head quite a few times if I played this horrifically.

So you fall unconscious in the subway and people laugh at you, beat you and steal your phone? Maybe they know you are a chess player?

The best recommendation I can offer is d4 followed by e3. Hope this help you out. I'm sorry about your condition.

Chessolepsy, classic case. Play in a cushioned chair and wear a helmet.

See, people? I keep on trying to tell you guys, but no one ever listens: playing chess is BAD for you!!!!! I quit chess about 7 months ago, and you can too!

If this post isn’t a joke, it sounds like there’s a pretty significant underlying condition, and you should seek the help of a medical professional and not a chess forum. Get yourself a proper diagnosis.

Well, who’d thunk it?  Go check out the profile now.  Actually, I was a handsome dude but the subway beatings have taken a toll and now I pay tolls driving my minibike.

I barely got through it while writing the absurdity.
