Sick brag: Today I had to play a inter-univerisity match and I was 11th board ( this is probably a beat). Unfortunaly I had a common cold , I told my coach and he told me to play anyway. One hour before the game I took an over the counter medicine with the hope it would hit me by the time I had to play. The game was 45/15
I got black and he played a Ruy Lopez and I went for my standard berlin defence which he played correctly, I made a small inacuracy and he punished me ( I thought he was playing excelent at the time) . After about an hour of play I began collapsing and my ability to see the lines properly was going down, at that point I was down two pawns so I had to look for some tricks, eventually I saw the light and managed to win an entire piece which set me up for a knights + 2 pawns vs 4 pawns endgame which seemed like a draw to me but I still had to be careful. After thinking for about 6 minutes I made a move which seemed to me had found the draw( this put my clock down to 10 minutes) then he automaticly played a move that lost him the game and he had 19 minutes on the clock!! I still cant believe this guy played some very solid chess for an hour and then made two silly mistakes than went from winning to drawing to losing
He used 20 minutes to crash me, 6 minutes to throw away his advantage and then lose the game and 9 more minutes to realize he had lost the game. ( This doesnt count the increments, I think we probably played around 45 moves)
