Ugh, It's become quite clear

That I need to work on my openings. And my endgames. And tactics.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with me? What is there to do. I guess I have to go back to basics and work on EVERYTHING...again.

If changing which hand you play with affects your game at all, I wouldn't be scared 😛

You can actually buy specially made left-handed chess pieces.

lmao. this site cracks me up.

Let me know who buys 'em. I think I have a bridge to sell them.

Well they are bespoke, so they're probably out of the price range for most lefties.

I don't think there's anything wrong. Would I be right though to assume that you aren't referring to data bases anymore? IF so it's probably the best thing that you ever did in the long run. If it's starting to aggravate you though take a few days or weeks off and unwind.

Aaaah left handed pieces for lefties who wouldn't be able to afford them. Love it.

They probably wouldn't be able to afford my bridge then either 🙁

Live chess = no DBs, of course. So for those games, definitely not. But that's not anything new for me.

where is "mad mac macmad" when you need him?

Just sound like anyone else having a rut. Chill and take a break. If you're playing the same people in OTB, they might have studied your play like baseball scouts study pitchers. Change up some.

I'm here. Do you want to buy a fridge?
