Playing in the morning has been conclusively demonstrated to lead to anxiety attacks, high blood pressure, psychoses, impotence, and spontaneous rectal discharge. You are risking your life and health by engaging in such risky behavior.
If you must play at those ill-fated hours, at least be sure to drink heavily to help fight baterial infection.
Too funny! 
Why do I have better luck winning in the PM than the AM?
When I play in the AM, or, say, before 3pm (USA West Coast time), I win some, lose some... probably lose more. But after 3 or 4 pm (USA West Coast time) I have much better luck...not only against players of my own ranking, but higher ranked players as well. In the evening I often beat players 200-300 points higher than myself, which is very rare in the AM.
Why is this? Is it because in the PM I am playing mainly against USA players who are significantly worse than Europeans players? Say it isn't so. Anybody have any thoughts? Or has anyone else noticed a difference in the quality of players based on time????
