The UnGodly Hour

At five thirty in the morning completed a practice exhibition game as in football analogy a practice game which doesn't affect my ratings win or lose. It is the ungodly hour can't sleep that performance enhancing cup of coffee might had something to do with it. My opponent failed to castle at all throughout the entire game that was his downfall. Castling is an elementary move which all beginners learn from the get go take it from me an advanced beginner would you believe? That's all I am. But anyone can learn the game and enjoy it even if the losing streaks come by it is a matter of hunkering down and taking it as it comes until the light at the end of the tunnel opens up. No one is going to beat up on you forever they will just get tired and go away like the fame boxing match where Muhammad Ali played rope a dope took a cover up until his opponent got tired of punching! The question is does this work in real life? In chess? It is something to think about. It was a good game however he was in the game on the verge of beating me my clock my timer down to the seconds left before I was to be counted out my alertness was there enough to realize I had only seconds left to move to save the game to win and this is what I did to turn it around it was Joe Montana who told me on the air if you hate losing more than winning you will do everything in your power to turn things around despite the few seconds you have left to pull it out to win. He the great quarter back football hero related this to me on the air when I asked him this question on his mental thought processes when in the heat of battle.
