As for me:
- I play very badly whenever I am tired or exhausted.
- I play EXTREMELY badly whenever I am disappointed because of losing the previous game (sometimes this turns into a vicious circle as I continue playing in order to "save" my rating even though I know that I should take a break)
- I simply can't play chess and drink at the same time. I don't even need to be tipsy, but according to my impression even 2 or 3 beers make my ELO drop 200 points as I make hilarious blunders, don't know why :) So for some reason I can't play chess and have a beer at the same time
- I often have winning streaks, so if I win one game, I will also win the next game just because I am in a good mood..
Have you made the same experiences or do you always play chess on the same level, no matter under which circumstances you play? ;)
