In that order? I once tried to play three simul, while having taken
a hit of acid in Bankok a few decades ago, boards were moving
all over the place, still won though.

Too distracted by having to interpret which of my dog's many looks means, "Let me outside or I'll pee on the rug."

Ordinarily when in a losing position I sweep the pieces from the board, spoiling the game but not losing; there is no way to do this in correspondence chess. Plus I tend to get black & white confused.

lack of concentration, usually induced by Whiskey and Water or too MUch Beer. I lose to someone rated 1100 and then beat another rated 1400...go figure.

When I tune into RHP I have a look at the forums as they are very funny and mean at times but all good stuff, then I notice I have chess games waiting so I get rid of them fast as can be, so I can get back to the forums 🙂

That's called the (ethnic minority of your choice here) defense.

Ah, so you know General Stupidity! What a guy!
Did you meet his little brother, Corporal Punishment?
Or his cousin, Private Parts?
He also has a bigger uncle, General Disaster. Nice guy but don't get
him started.

I wanted to try to catch the opponent offguard by trying a completely dumb move........

For those who try this method, it so rarely works

People like you make me vomit....all mouth and no brains at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not paying attention, not knowing how to spell "inattenion", dreaming is bad while playing chess (especially those kinds of dreams)
Just making offhand moves about covers it.
The rest of the time, I just got beat, my opponent played a better game than I did.
