You play Rd1-b3, checkmating the black king on f7.
The computer says its not a move. You try again. 2 minutes later (and alot of bad words to the computer), you realise that it was the rook and not the queen.
...You fall asleep
You realize your blundering but continue playing for that one win
When it move 10 and you still want to e4 after it was played move 1 and been wanting to still play it #2 - #10.
I figure you still get something out of playing tired. You learn a bit about how your brain works when it isn't at its sharpest. Every chess game is instructive especially losses. Sometimes I play well beyond my threshold just to train myself how to play when I'm not at my sharpest. I think it sinks into your neurons at a subconcious level and you recognize patterns that lost you games in the past. Then again, maybe I am just full of chit :D
Your really tired when you Parrot yells out "checkmate in 1 move bird brain" when you about to move the wrong piece.
@J_Young598 yeah, I thought so too ... that you should be able to rely on the fundamentals, back to basics kinda thing when you're tired. But does't work like that when I'm tired. Basically, I run out of "clever" and become a dull drone, incapable of remembering even basic middle game stuff.
Don't tell me i look tired. I know when i am tired and i am not tired. And if i was tired i would rest. No i rest when i feel like it tired or not. I think your tired. Yeah i am tired of you telling me i am tired. Now are tired of me saying this well you rest because i am not tired and .........zzzzZZZZZZZ.
When you open your eyes an it is morning and something dripping down your mouth.
