Well, my last post was on 9/9/22 when I predicted, in a happy little poem, that the Aggies would motorboat poor Appalachian State.,,yeah, that sucked.
But I got my mojo back today when I beat a guy (on Dr Chess - play there a lot because I like their start with a 60seconds and get 20second increments) who was rated 2399.
Yup, he only needed to beat little ol' me to hit 2400, but it didn't happen.
I had lost a stupid blunder filled game just before and had gone to the restroom and brushed my teeth for few minutes...I've noticed this action, particularly if it includes gum massage, definitely improves my fast chess play.
Let me recommend brushing before games as an experiment to my Aggie friends - and post if you agree/or not that it is a worthwhile chess prep.
