You might also take a few days for a well deserved break, before you delve into those games. Do something else that you enjoy and then come back to the game. Just don't take a break for too long. You need to 'get back onto the horse' and ride after you have brushed yourself off a bit. A few wins under your belt and your confidence will return quickly. Just look at any loss as an opportunity. |

There was also a distraction in the tournament hall which seemed to caused the blunder. more on this see.. www.bacon.blogspot.com (you just got to play the game). |

Message: A few years afterwards, I changed my strategy to going over games with some of my friends, since they were at or near master level and were a good resource. I started playing a few blitz games with them, and then when I inevitably lost we went over the game move by move. Seeking guidance from more experienced people is probably the best way to go. |
Chess news: Carlsen charges on -- Magnus Carlsen is knocking on Vishy Anand’s door after another win at the Aerosvit chess tournament, sponsored by the Ukrainian airline and staged in the Crimean resort of Foros. If the chess rating list were to be published now, Carlsen’s string of five victories in seven games have gained him so many rating points he would be almost level with Anand, the world chess champion and world number one. The seventeen year old Norwegian chess prodigy already leads the tournament by two clear points. The chess players visited the town of Balaklava on the rest day and Carlsen returned apparently more refreshed and more inspired than his opponent Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu of ... Aronian speeds to victory -- Levon Aronian the Armenian number one was able to record another Rapid Chess triumph in his home city of Yerevan as he overhauled Peter Leko on the final day of the Karen Asrian Memorial. The chess event was renamed following Asrian’s sudden death at the age of 28 just hours before play was due to start. The Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian officiated at the closing ceremony and declared that the chess event will continue to keep the memory of Asrian, who won a gold medal playing for Armenian at the 2006 Chess Olympiad, alive. It’s hard to imagine a senior British politician turning up at a UK chess tournament and making such a speech but in Armenia chess has the status of ... Shirov's costly blunders -- While Magnus Carlsen coasts to chess tournament victory at Foros, Alexey Shirov is suffering. Shirov’s play has been highly creative but in several games, at critical moments he has blundered. Shirov started with 2/2 but has since garnered just three draws from seven games and is languishing near the bottom of the table. We saw his remarkable attack against Sergey Karjakin on Monday but even there he might have won rather than drawn. Carlsen’s stellar performance aside, he leads by 1.5 points with two to play, the Ukrainians are doing well on home soil and outperforming the Russians. Aerosvit scores: 1 Carlsen (Norway) 7 / 9; 2 Eljanov (Ukraine) ... | |
