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....

re:Fatal blackouts during long games - 2006/07/11 01:41 Anohter thing that might help you is a program frankly suggested in the book Rapid
Chess Improvement. It is not very expensive and you will get much more improvement quicker than with most chess books. It seems to be secretly geared toward your problem specifically..

re:Fatal blackouts during long games - 2006/07/11 01:57 I apologize in advance if this does not apply to you, but it sounds like a question of stamina. I'm not in good physical condition myself, but I have found that long walks help to keep me on an even keel throughout a chess game. Get a bicycle, go for a walk, do something cardiovasscular. It really helps! (Not DURING the game, this is a long term suggestion.).

re:Fatal blackouts during long games - 2006/07/11 02:29 <snip>

you're right about the endgame part.
its completely different from the middle game & openings.
usually i get a pawn up in the endgame agianst players 200 - 300 elo points greater than me but still lose because of gifting them material.
the endgame requires lot of analysis as compared to the middle game.
probably thats why great players suggest laerning good end game theory first..

re:Fatal blackouts during long games - 2006/07/11 02:39 No need to apologize David, the opposite is true. Your hint is right on the spot & I've a bad conscience towards my body and health: I do no spotrs, absolutely zero, smoke 30 cigarettes a day and have a bad insomnia.I often heard it is essential to build physical stamina in order to have metnal stamina.
But sense im relativelly young, 22, there still is hope. promptly cutting out smokin, viciously losing 15 pounds and do some assuredly jogging.......

You know how hard that is .
