Observing his chess games, Montemagno identifies conditions in which he feels he makes worse decisions: a small screen, fatigue, haste, nervousness and divided attention. He connects these mistakes to the many professional choices made throughout the day, often on his phone. He therefore proposes identifying one's clearest moments and reserving them for important decisions. These are personal observations, without measurements establishing rules for everyone.
