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. |

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: Chess notes -- The month of December has produced considerable drama and new champions for chess archives. First, the 128-player World Chess Cup field was, after knockout play, finally reduced to Ruslan Ponomariov of Ukraine and Boris Gelfand of Israel (formerly of Belarus), both of whom had survived six rounds. The subsequent struggle between Gelfand and Ponomariov was a real nail-biter. They drew their first four games at normal time controls. The rapids also produced a tied score. Play then moved on to Blitz, a full game in five minutes for each player. Here, both competitors played queen side openings, but Gelfand excelled, winning the first game by trapping Ponomariov’s queen, resigning ... Great intuitive sacrifice -- The exchange sacrifice -- trading a rook for a knight or a bishop -- is a magnificent tool in today's chess. It seldom wins outright. It is played for positional gain and calculation is often not required. Former world chess champion Tigran Petrosian loved it because he used it to get squares from which he could suffocate his opponent. The sacrifice is best suited for the black pieces in the Sicilian defense where the semi-open c-file tempts the black rook to eliminate the white horse on c3 before it can gallop off and do some damage. White is left with an unpleasant, immobile double-pawn and with holes into which black pieces can easily slide. Sometimes it destroys ... Norwegian teenager to be crowned new chess king -- The chess world's new number one 19-year-old Magnus Carlsen plots 20 moves ahead and can remember chess matches he played six years ago move-for-move, but insists he is still pretty much your average teenager. The brightest talent in a generation according to his Russian coach and chess great Garry Kasparov, Norway's Carlsen will officially become the world's youngest ever top ranked chess player when new rankings come out at the start of 2010. Dubbed the "Mozart of chess," Carlsen plays with a healthy dose of natural intuition on top of deep analysis and pursues other interests that he believes help his game. He brushes aside comparisons ... | |
