Most people have Petram Oculus, or the ability to evaluate a position consistently. In other words, if you see a position once that is winning with a certain move, you will always play the move until you improve to a level where you see another move.
But I share with Tal the curse of Novum Oculus, which is to say: I will always see a position as if it were the first time. Even if I don't want to. It takes a lot for me to be able to evaluate the same position consistently days or even hours apart.
So my question is: what do I do? This seems to be okay for me, but it can be frustrating sometimes.
