When you are not doing well, this is an indication that you might be tired or you did not sleep well or things along those lines. It is usually a good idea to just stop and take a break and start the next day since you might start to press and make things worse.
Yeah. Lack of sleep usually makes me play much worse than usual. I suggest you sleep enough, and do enough exercice everyday. I'm sure it'll help your games a lot.
Personally, I think you should just take a break from chess for a week or two and recover from your chess fatigue. Oftentimes you'll come back playing better than ever.
I tried that and did worse than ever
for me i just take a break from chess for 1 day only if i do bad
Taking a break and sleeping didnt help. Doing just as bad, if not worse. Not sure what to try next.
I have been there several times mate , i think u should just stop playing for a bit and just study games or practise tactics , at least that is what i do :)
Good to know that I am not the only one who suffers from this problem.
Yeah you're right of course I should stop for a bit. I'll be back though, and hopefully capable of playing somewhat adequately! @jonnnyboy2000
You and me both :) @Shredderroy
Ahh, I see. Thanks for all your pointers!
