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. |

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. |

The world of chess is outraged that he could face a two-year ban. Professional chess player Vassily Ivanchuk, born in Berezhany, Ukraine in 1969, has been a grandmaster for the past 20 years and is currently ranked third in the world. The man with black hair and bedroom eyes is known as "Big Chucky" by his fellow chess players. Why? Because, after losing a game, he goes into the forest at night and howls at the moon to drive out the demons. Because he walks around in shorts in freezing temperatures. Because he likes to ...
