Whenever I start playing a game, I start to get nervous. My brain starts to heat up fast that I blunder a lot of pieces. So how do you stay cool? Is there some kind of psychological trick? Thanks for your time.

 

have you tried the ice bucket challenge ?

have you ever seen an numskull?

mind your grammar.

 

He is right. Look at your original post

Turn on the electric fan or aircon while playing chess? 🤔

This usually happens with me, when I’m about to win a chess game, or I’ve just captured a good piece, I start to get cocky, and usually i fail some tactics i use to stay cool are:
If you lose a good piece, dont panic. Panicing causes stress and makes you make moves you don’t want to. Take deep breaths, close your eyes, and start to calm down. Play some calming music if it helps. If you lose, don’t start slamming your tablet or iPhone against the wall, instead, clamp your teeth, hold you’re breath and wait until the anger seeps out. Those are my tactics. I really hope they help you

Just be Eric Hansen. He's good at keeping his cool. (If he wasn't he wouldn't be as fun to watch).
