Like you, I feel worse at it now, though. I feel like the opponent's possibilities have become harder to spot. |
I love beating someone who I know is a lot better than me like that. The amount of times I've fluked my way to unlikely pool victories
The thing about chess is I reckon it takes a certain kind of mindset, and one I've long since neglected in favour in writing, music, cigarettes and alcohol.
