Description
JJ and Julia return to the question of how psychological factors can impact one's chess game after a frustrating tournament where JJ kept running into familiar problems. During a "therapy" session, Julia helps JJ unpack a number of questions that plagued them throughout the event: should we minimize social time with friends in order to be more rested for our games? Why do we sometimes get fixated on a single, unnecessary variation that costs us precious time on the clock? Is there anything we can do at the board to reset our nervous system when panic sets in?
