How to Handle Game Stress
Sort:
I have played chess since I was a child, but recently I have started to take my hobby seriously, I want to become better chess player and learn new skills and tune my already existing ones.
But recently I have noticed that I have this unnececcary exitment right before games. especially when I have winning streak. Does this nervousness go away in time, or does more experienced and veteran players also have similiar feelings before games?

Well I wouldn't call my army experience "torture" 😅 of course it was physically tough trip and every now and then I was very anxious, but it was nothing that a normal person couldn't handle. Where I life army is mantatory. My anxiety in chess is pretty much due to my very competive nature. I hate to lose. I have manners so I am not a bad loser, but never the less I hate to lose, but I also want to improve, so losing is pretty nececcary. But I would want to enjoy every moment of chess, and not being anxious over a single game.

my only advice is play chess as you approach life and do not force yourself too hard on tactics. player like morphy did not have a tactics book yet excelled in tactics.
