Holy Cow

No I know I don't lose all the time although don't ask me when I'm in the depths of a slump although I took that last chess slump well. I did. What prompts me is that I didn't my behind kicked in real good but instead I had just beaten a 1300 plus rated player coming from behind minus a rook or five points in the hole yet I felt I was still in it. I was. And if I tell you chess doesn't make me nervous anymore then I'm lying. It does even when I can win. It was a careful blunder less game on both our parts and by the wan I got some 29 points for beating a higher rated player not an everyday kind of thing for me. But I was in no pain entering this last game by leg was bothering me my medicine was kicking in this time and it is early in the morning but awake enough to play a fair game of Ms Packman an old old game of the 80's very popular back then I recently discovered. I think this old game could be an excellent gauge as to when not to play on line chess against humans as it is an excellent test of my alertness and brain activity in other words am I dosing off? And I'm active somewhat this morning without the caffeine. I needed that test to get me motivated in playing that chess game for ratings.
