I find myself sometimes, online, playing well while sober and bad while drunk.  Has anyone played the move per day while some moves are great and some are a result of drunkeness,,,?

trysts

I don't use my drunkeness as an excuse as to why I lost a game. I blame it on alien intervention.

I blame my drunkeness on chess.

Uh-oh, I think trysts just turned into Band of Outsiders or something.

A reference to Mr. Godard at Chess.com??? Wow!Laughing

winerkleiner

Band of Outsiders was my first rock group!

AndyClifton

Yeah, but I don't like him too much.  Except Breathless was fun (with the story by Truffaut, who is one of my favorites).  Oh yeah, and apparently Jean-Luc showed up as an actor in the cool Cleo from 5 to 7.

Granted, I'm not big on Antonioni either.  Except Story of a Love Affair (his first one) I liked a lot.

Excuse me? You don't like Antonioni films???

Le Mepris was my favorite Godard. Breathless was/is a bit overrated for me, but I understand the movie Breathless to be the film that made Humphrey Bogart world famous, from what I've readWink

"Oh, did something fall over the side again?  Who really cares?..."

(Blow-up was okay though.)

And I've never even heard of Le Mepris, so I'll just blithely ignore that remark. Smile

Estragon's remark does though point us in a whole new (and admirably relevant) direction:  just who was the biggest drunk in movie history anyway?  I say maybe it's this guy:

AlCzervik

But, did he play chess better when sober?

AndyClifton

Well, he certainly made one very large blunder with cash.

Ruby-Fischer

Get a room - in a clinic lol, made me laugh E.

AndyClifton

He's just jealous because he doesn't own a pair of 3D glasses.

Weiner's next thread. Chess with 3D glasses. Me, I'll drink 3 full glasses.
