Fatal blackouts during long games - 2006/07/11 01:02
There is somehting that keeps mysteriously puzzling me.Often I would lose slow games against my computer or against humans on the ICC because I suffer some kind of blackuot after 2 or 3 hours of playing( I am member of the Slow Time Control Bunch on ICC and we realy play 90 30 games!)But this phenomenon also happened to me in OTB play: At some point i lose all my focus, all overview of the position and blunder horrtible., espescially in tactical positions.After the game, maybe only minutes I would recover and glance over the board with a grimace of disgust.What a trivial blunder! How could I do this!.But when I was still in the game I would simply fail to find the right move..encouragingly startring to calculate... losing track... startin over again.. lovely getting confused.. taking ages for that move and.... BLUNDER!.I hope I am not the only 1400-ish player suffering from this "disease".In fact, I pretty much believe that this loss of stamina and "chess power" is the reason that I am 1400.Im lookling forward to responses from players of my level as well as to valuable advice from recklessly epxeriecned tournament players.Maybe there are some secret remedies.... ---------
That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.
