Do you possibly mean, "What is the most common w̶a̶y̶ reason someone is having a bad day..."?

There are probably a thousand reasons why you might not have a clear focused mind on any particular day.  Let's just lump them all together and call it stress.

When you cannot calculate as deeply as usual and not with your usual visualization clarity.

"*Plays the first round of tourney, rated 2800, loses to scholar mate to a 200*"


That is actually possible if you account for the 2800 being an Internet rating and the 200 being BCF Cool

Huh?

BCF ratings are very deflated since they're triple digits (a 200 BCF would be something like a CM or whatever)  whereas Internet ratings tend to be inflated.

Oh well, please read carefully, it's FIDE.

Also, that means you're saying a 2800 online (if I didn't say FIDE) dosen't know about Scolars mate. AND you're saying a CM or whatever will try scholars mate.Undecided

ofc.

If a beginner has a 2800 rating on a site, then the CM will have something like a 4200 rating and would plausibly think to try a scholars mate.
