It Is All About Nerves
Don't you believe me when I say I don't get nervous anymore. I played two exhibition games because I know I'm not up to par my standard play and true to my feelings I lost two of the exhibition games to lower rated players. Now do I have the nerve to go again for a third straight lost let alone a rated game at this point in time? I don't think so. My confidence is shot like my nerves. A little rest and restoration a healing moment in time will do it. Playing a tune up game lets me gauge myself and tell me where I am. It doesn't look like I'm close to a winning streak.

They say one learns more from a lost game then a won game. Partly its because in analyse of the game one can see which mistakes you made and so you can search for a cure of these mistakes.
ReplyDeleteSecondly you cannot do any worser then lossing so the objective, you will, your strive, your determination all is directed to a win or better play next game. Make it positive energy since lately i do find this blog a bit on the negative side. I cannot tell you how many games i lost in the past but it must have been thousands, and i will lose some more games in the future. It doesn't bother me anymore since i learned to see it as an opportunity to see what is still wrong with my play and hopefully i can put a lit on that hole so i dont make such mistakes again.
It takes time, i know, but that doesn't mean we have to stop loving the game. Caissa gives and takes, and since we are amatuers she takes more then she gives. :-)
Chesstiger has posted an interesting comment I shall take it in with heart.
