psychology in chess

They published an article about this on Chessable which is pretty good.

Psychology in chess is just another phrase used instead of trashtalking

When I play bullet and the opponent has little time I make random moves to distract him and make him lose time.
Can that be chess psychology?

#8 It became clear enough that he didn't take much stock in psychology.

I don't know anything about chess psychology. Can anyone, especially @MrPushwood , please post a brief and simple explanation?
I only have a little understanding of good moves part. Why is it not sufficient to play chess?

Don't get emotional when playing chess.

That's it?

"Why is it not sufficient to play chess?"

Oh, you child!

you dont always throw your computer out of the window if you get emotional. i had a game recently where i had to sac a queen but position was completely fine yet i resigned coz i didnt see the enemy move and it tilted me that i missed it (like pointed out by #3). it only felt as if losing coz it was so unexpected not taking into consideration the compensation and board state in the end.

ofc the good players have too much experience for stuff like that, but there are very subtle emotions no matter if positive or negative that can def impact your objective look at the board.

theres a gazillion books on psychology for the more exhausting sports like tennis, climbing, bycicling, swimming so i find it kinda funny people wouldnt expect the same to be true for chess, a sport played almost exclusively with your mind. of course mind set is super important. anybody saying the opposite is a robot :P

I know a lot about chess psycology
E.g
If your opponent is lower rated, you will underestimate them and play badly
e.g
If you lose one game you are likely to lose another one
e.g
A stronger opponent seems formidable and you overestimate them, playing badly, and lose a game you should win
keep in mind these example and avoid being on the worse side

just play the bongcloud ez psychological advantage
