It reminds me of myself. This probably falls in the same basket, I used to game (online games) on a decent level, but I noticed that when I started becoming too concerned with winning a round that I'd start failing more. Whereas when I played more 'happy go lucky' I could coordinate my actions much better. There's probably other factors at play here, but overthinking really does have a downside on my ability to play well. Another interesting datapoint is a friend of mine, who overthinks when gaming except when he was slightly intoxicated. Maybe like the Ballmer peak for gaming! :D
