ah, that is a good idea. I think I was always distracted by having the knight on the g file
I got “hooked” by playing 5+3 (5 minutes for each player and 3s per turn for each player) games online. It really makes it more enjoyable because the clock is a natural antidote to “perfectionism”. If I blunder a piece now, I still get mad, however, it’s bound to happen under a time constraint so I don’t lose the motivation for the next match due to this.
They played at 82%, one blunder, 2 mistakes, 1 imprecision (sry, translating terms to english on the fly). So I don’t think they were playing extremey bad.
