This is kind of fun but the nerves so far have not gone away like they have when on the air speaking about various news topics. It was then when I was very nervous but pretty much I don't get nervous as a caller dealing with the professionals on those news talk shows on the radio. Neither do I get nervous while playing the chess machines even though they are better players these chess machines as they don't make blunders or errors like low rated beginners on line but the advance beginners make me nervous; they remind me of Buster Douglas the unknown fighter/boxer to the general public when he fought the great Mike Tyson and knocked him out and down for the full count! Upsets do happen and when they do there is excitement in the air. My last opponent a few minutes ago never was in the game having made no out right errors like handing over any pieces for free he just made basic errors like not castling because he allowed me to trade queens in the beginning where the rules of chess forbid a king from castling once it the king is moved the cardinal rule of elementary chess. Nevertheless I was at a heighten awareness that I could have gone down in defeat as I did just some time ago against a lesser rated chess player. I do hope God willing I'm not brain dead. Let me say I know Roger Federer the number one ranked tennis player has had his medical problems but still he is far healthier than I and most people for that matter he rocks. I love being on the air with famous people Roger Federer I say I do want to talk to you on the air even if I'm only a news talk caller.
