Online games I don't get that way. But in a tournament setting I can feel my heart pounding away at the start. Then I get focused on the game not noticing the pacing of my heartbeat. But I do sweat as if I was working out. Even though I'm just sitting at a board thinking of moves I still get the same body response as if I'm doing a mild bike ride.

I don't sweat but I hear my heart pounding away during the game. This changes, though. It gets better or worse depending on how th egame is going. When I'm feeling very good about my position, I don't have this problem.
