Had a tough day yesterday - two losses in a row.
The first one against an IM was particularly annoying, cause I felt I played a rather great game as black and got what I wanted, but in the zeitnot did not listen to my intuition and instead of making a winning move, which I saw from a far, "calculated" a cleaner win, which pretty much lost on the spot. Coulda been 2/2
In the third game couldn't get away from the earlier loss and blundered in the opening. Tried to put up as much fight as I could, set quite a lot of problems/traps, but ultimately GM technique prevailed. We had a very pleasant post-mortem and he acknowledged that he was not expecting to have to play the full game (we were almost the last to end) after that opening and commended the fighting spirit, so there is that I guess
On to the next day!
