Hey,

I’ve rediscovered chess after not playing for ages (stopped because I was too much of a perfectionist) and now I feel like I’m hardly making process, I get discouraged because during games I get Hey,

I’ve rediscovered chess after not playing for ages (stopped because I was too much of a perfectionist) and now I feel like I’m hardly making process, I get discouraged because during games I get very nervous and do one stupid mistake after the other and end up losing time after time...

I feel really stupid and get very impatient with myself, even though I really just want to enjoy the game and have fun and maybe at some point get better in my own time.

I thought hearing some experiences from other people while learning, it might be easier for myself to accept my own struggles, because, I can’t be the only one to struggle or to feel this way :)

Blundering is normal, especially after not playing for a long time. Even really strong players make mistakes, albeit less frequent and less obvious most of the time.  The more you play, less mistakes you will make. Especially if you play longer games. .

Eu não sei medir o quanto eu melhorei no xadrez desde que aprendi lendo um manual para iniciantes do GM brasileiro Mequinho (Henrique Mecking) em meados de 1990. Mas jogar contra videogame ou o computador sempre me deixou irritado e frustrado. 

Voltei a jogar após Queen's Gambit. E apesar de cometer erros por afobação, notei que para jogadores de mesmo nível, as partidas ficaram mais interessantes.

Aqui no site eu consigo até me divertir, mesmo quando perco. E não abandono uma partida. Pratico a fuga até o mate.

Abraços.
