ADVICE

Dealing with Pressure

To handle pressure, try to develop a mindset of not letting losses or poor performances define you.
Focus on giving your best effort but accept that setbacks are not the end of the world.
This reduces the psychological burden and allows for a freer, more focused approach to competition.
Hikaru Nakamura adopted this philosophy after the pandemic, realizing that his income was no longer solely dependent on professional chess.
He acknowledged the importance of caring about performance, while also emphasizing the need to detach from the outcome.
