Session # 28
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PREPARATION

For this session we are going to look into another aspect of chess, a very important and often overlooked aspect of playing great chess: The mental or psychological preparation. The mental preparation decides a bigger share of the outcome of you performance than you might think. To put all the chances on your side, you must not overlook the psychological aspect of the game. In this session we will see a couple of ways that we can prepare for a chess event or even change our psychological outlook on chess forever! The first little trick is what most athletes do to prepare for a competition, the visualization, it consists of visualizing an event in you head the way you want it to happen you repeat the process as often as possible, thinking about every detail, and you start as longer before the competition as possible. The second trick would be the auto-programming of the sub-conscious mind, a way to do this is to write a list of about ten things that would like to change or add in your chess play that would make you a better player and write those ten things at least once a day, while really concentrating on them and convincing yourself that you are already a changed chess player. Lets talk about it come more in class.
