psychic chess masters

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news nameno1had, but this is symptomatic of schizophrenia. But then again, not everything is known about schizophrenia as psychiatry is an incomplete science. So maybe you were/are psychic?

[Begin 'The Twilight Zone' music...]

the irony....if you're right, they call you psychic and praise you....if you are wrong, you are a wack job and they tell you to get it together.... ah, the joys of life.....

@Macotif and @nameno1had: now that is bias. :-) I think that it is quite normal to know how someone will behave if you see that person almost every day. To think that that is special is surprising. To call it a sign of schizophrenia very surprising to put it mildly.

@Macotif: You put the correct question mark at your own diagnostics. It should have warned you not to make such bold statements.

I agree with TheGrobe and Macotif however that it is more healthy to behave differently. I would advise you to see it as nothing more then a scenario that might happen if you will behave the same way you have done so far. This does not imply that you are the main cause for this situation, but that the only attitude you have under control is the one of yourself.

Now do you have the chance to think it over, to imagine what could happen, what your goal in the situation is and how your mindset and behaviour should be to accomplish those newly set desirable goals.

there is a difference in experiencing this when there isnt a standard protocol for continually changing, unrepetitive duities....

Nonsense.  Timshel.

Are you a Steinbeck fan?

I just smoke my three pipes in the afternoon and study with the old fellas.

Not by choice, though.

I think some of the blokes I play who refuse a second game in incivility might .ALSO. be of aliens.

Sometimes when people stare at the board they're really focusing on their 3rd eye to read your mind.  To see through you.  That way they don't have to have extraordinary skills, they can just know what you're going to do and make the appropriate moves to offset it.
