I always try to go into a game completey relaxed and I usually do, but I usually play poorly too, so I probably have had it all wrong from the start.wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810798413949148423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-23653609343432513452008-12-05T09:47:00.000+11:002008-12-05T09:47:00.000+11:00likesforests:that's a very interesting not from Wa...likesforests:<BR/><BR/>that's a very interesting not from Waitzkin about handling such situations and it's ironic that perfect calm is not ideal for play. i just read an article from Anand who also mentions something along the lines that tension and pressure is necessary in order to succeed over the board.<BR/><BR/>thank you for that insight. most interesting.<BR/><BR/>chesstiger:<BR/><BR/>i concur. it has always been a struggle for adult players because of the fact that we have to shuffle between playing chess and putting food on the table. <BR/><BR/>that task looks the more onerous when you have a bad day at work and you don't feel like doing anything about chess.<BR/><BR/>:)tanchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248501580728956514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-68527793838143533042008-12-02T10:20:00.000+11:002008-12-02T10:20:00.000+11:00One has to be a big work aholic (like Kasparov) if...One has to be a big work aholic (like Kasparov) if one wants to fill the shoes of Kasparov or even Botwinnik. Something many of us, with a regular job in the daytime, cant always bring up in the evening.<BR/><BR/>But i agree with Kasparov that one has to deal with stress and learn how to put this stress to ones advantage.From the patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499383398575774704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-91422931846607032022008-12-01T14:51:00.000+11:002008-12-01T14:51:00.000+11:00I think they both agree a state of perfect calm is...I think they both agree a state of perfect calm is not ideal for play. We should be slightly on edge--whether induced by the environment, or created in our own minds.likesforestshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363355892919115087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-46843961958235926152008-12-01T14:48:00.000+11:002008-12-01T14:48:00.000+11:00Kasparov's talk of nervous energy being good in mo...Kasparov's talk of nervous energy being good in moderation reminds me of something Waitzkin says about handling adverse conditions and distractions during games.<BR/><BR/>Phase I is to try to ignore them, stay calm, and play your game. Phase II is to use them as a spark to make you play better. Phase III is to trigger your own spark when nothing is available.
