Amusing Anecdote
Annie used to make a habit of sitting behind the better players and watching them for an hour or so. I let Annie sit behind me one time, although I was unaccustomed to having anyone watch the way I played. I didn’t say anything because Annie had always been very nice to me and she was a relative beginner at that point anyway.
After 30 minutes or so Annie said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t sit behind you anymore. The other players have complained privately to me that you play better when I’m watching you.”
