Kotov Syndrome

   

This refers to a particular type of blunder. After thinking for a long time over a complicated position, without being able to find a clear path, short of time, a player is then prone to make a blunder.

It was named after [ext] Alexander Kotov, a Soviet chess GM. He first described the phenomenon in his book 'Think like a Grandmaster'.
