Effort

Hello,

I am having this problem where I feel like almost every position I reach, I am thinking 10x harder than my opponent. And still seeing less than them. Not only that, it always feels like they can play whatever move that they want to their heart's content and I have to play the one and only half-decent move.

I don't know what causes this problem, and I don't know how to solve it. I had this problem my entire life. But on some days, I feel as though I can move pieces around and see everything without calculating even once. I don't know if this is maybe a mental illness that I have to work around.

Hmmmmm....... If you have this problem while being this strong then I'm the most stupid human on the planet 😭

I have no advice for this, but I hope you find your answer and get even stronger

I think mental illness sounds much to strong. To me this sounds as good or bad form. If I am playing well, I don't have to calculate, I "feel" the right move. The difficult thing; how to get in good shape? I am afraid I can't help you with that. Succes!

Ms. Vrilkyrie, it is completely understandable for you to feel this way. Despite being a strong player, it is natural to have doubts. In fact, these doubts are essential for your growth; without them, improvement would be challenging. Acknowledging your weaknesses allows you to focus on the areas that need attention.

Comanche wisdom for you- “Like the wind over the plains, your courage grows with every challenge you face.”

When your mind is clear, you don't have to consciously calculate as much; your brain is doing it automatically. When you're not clear, you have to be more forcing with your focus and it feels worse. But this is true across any competitive endeavor.
This can also be affected by sleep, diet, how much exercise you've had, emotional state, having a bad day, or even your self-confidence on any given day.
Before a game starts, take a deep breath, put on some music if it helps and try to forget about everything else. If you can't, then take a break. Don't force yourself to play.

I'm having a problem not being attracted to her

Cold rizz ngl 🥶🥶🥶

If I was her I would've fell for you

I will soon have my first child with a blue eyed man and then a marriage after. And I'm a monogamist. So, I cannot take your hand I am sorry about that.

I am glad that you find me attractive though. I am one of the few Agarthans left on the planet.

My bio used to say Shield Maiden because I thought it was funny. But my boyfriend got upset about it because it implied that I am single and forever single by choice. So, I changed it from "Shield Maiden" to "Blue Eyes White Dragon Girl"

Omg you know Yu-Gi-Oh???? That's so coooool!!!

Not really. Blue Eyes White Dragon completes my knowledge of Yu-Gi-Oh. And that's only because I have blue eyes, I'm White, and my ancestry has mythical folklore.

Thank you for the reassurance that it can happen across any skill and not just chess. And I think you're totally right that even something like self-confidence can affect a lot. My self-confidence fluctuates.

Thank you for the wisdom! And you're right, it means I am in the middle of a learning phase.

Understandable. I try to stay in good shape all the time. I maintain a stable sleep schedule and I am a judoka.

maybe youre peaking and reached a plateau, or maybe you need to polyfuse your blue eyes into 3 blue eyes ultimate dragon

bro has ball knowledge!!!

You are the REAL Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!!!

Impossible that I peaked. My Mensa IQ is 125. And I achieved that score before I became a vegan and returned to cognitively stimulating activities.

I am thoroughly puzzled as I thought being a Comanche was strange for many people to deal with, now thanks to this conversation I don't feel so alien. Agarthans-that's out of this world

Right? My kind of people supposedly used to communicate with aliens using vril. But only women possessed this capability. There is a lot of interesting information about "vril society"
