No Slump Here Please

There's that terrible word and it starts with a letter the letter I cannot say let's not go there but I know for the last several days or so I've not on a losing streak. My video game is an indicator of when not to play rated games a prelude or before any such rated game is to be played in chess going into a game of chess half asleep is likened to attempted suicide and dosing off is suicide allowing one's best chess game to slip and slide crashing down into the bottom of The Grand Canyon. Playing a good game of Pacman can prove that at that time at least I'm scoring and putting numbers on the board satisfactory enough to decide whether I'm game for a gratifying game of chess once I can meet the standards for winning in chess. Think about it long enough and you will know what I'm saying I am merely saying a good player in chess should go into the game in mind of putting the best foot forward. I'm in no condition at the moment to play a rated game of chess when my body says right now "it is nap time folks"!
