It is now about one year that, in the course of my chess games, I notice some strange coincidences.
The first one is that the sequence of my defeats and victories is like big waves: not about one victory and one defeat, but more likely a long sequence of victories and a long sequence of defeats.
The second strange coincidence, related to the preceding one, is in my last three games: after a sequence of defeats, I had a sequence of three victories, against opponents with more points than me; but what impressed me is the reason of my victories: in all three games my opponent didn’t notice that his queen was in check, so I captured his queen and he resigned. It looks like, after a sequence of my defeats, my (unknown) opponents decide to be strangely inattentive, and vice versa, after a sequence of my victories, my opponents become strangely stronger.
Do you happen to have similar coincidences in your games, or is it only me?
