Description
I’d reached 1500 after about a year of playing chess. Then I tried to fix a bad session by playing one more game. And then another. By the time I stopped, I’d lost about 100 rating points.
Two days later, I sat down at 1393 to play 15+10 rapid with fresh eyes. These are the three wins from that five-game session, in the order I played them. In the first, I’m up material and still looking for the trap. The last one takes me back to exactly 1400.
How do you decide when it’s time to stop playing for the day?
00:00 Why I kept playing
00:46 Win 1 — A rook and a mating net
04:06 Win 2 — Playing the pawn ending
09:39 Win 3 — Back to 1400
