Sort:

hey guys when we play live chess and you are still sleepy, dont you think you are easily defeated by an opponent which you can easily beat before?.... i feel that a hundred of times and which made me lose hundred of points in quick and blitz, you cant see things that are so obvious like you cant see that your queen is already hanging , after your queen is taken already you have the feeling of 90% chance of resigning!!!

comments are welcome:pls post

This is what disappoints me about chess. Many, many players lose their queen and so resign, thinking that all is lost. Its more of a challenge to play without the queen, but it makes you think a lot more, plus you can sometimes still win.

I play on-line chess only right now.  There have been several instances where I have lost the queen, but I quickly get past it and do the best I can.  I have won a few without the queen also.

Good on you, I'm too nervous to play live chess.

What is the best move  when you feel sleepy while playing chess ?  Isa lang ang ibig sabihin nyan kailangan mo pa ng tulog...lol.  Just dont sleep when your playing OTB.  Wink

Playing chess when you're sleepy is like playing blindfolded chess against a grandmaster. :)

Perhaps you should wake up before u play chess.

That's the best advice I could give. :-)

 Some of my best chess tactics in online games, I thought of while half asleep. Then I tested them out in the analysis board and it turns out I play better when asleep! I think it is because when I'm awake I have things besides chess to worry about, like tomorrow's math test, or that my shoe is untied. When you fall asleep all of these worries go away, but if you memorized a chess position recently, then you may end up thinking about it with much more focus and without distractions.

play when you want to play... rating means very little unless youre going for a title or something...play when tired play when drunk just play whenever!  im satisfied to know that i HAVE beaten a 1750, a 1777, and a 1805...i conveniently forget that i HAVE lost to a 1022...anyway if you are worried about your rating then only play when rested and sober

I guess falling asleep might hinder your playing skills a bit...
