What do you do when you play a really bad, and dramatic game ?
Go hide in a dark corner and sob for a few days, and not publish about it any time soon ?
No.
For the sake of a better world, and one's chess improvement it is good to work on self reflection and honesty.
Yes, I played bad, very very bad and my opponent deserved the win
But there's always ... a next blitz game to enjoy !
Preparation :
In preparation of this game I checked games by my opponent.
He is been playing very well, and scoring good in various openings.
In blitz games he won a few times against me in the opening line I was planning to play. But I also won a game before with another move in that line.
I looked it up and that move was much better than what I had played before (c7c5 instead of d7d6).
What else did I do for preparation ?
I played my daily blitz games, and I did my daily 4 tactic puzzles for breakfast.
And since yesterday I got a cold, despite the sunny weather.
That was annoying, but today I went outside in the sun with some friends and ate delicious ice cream.
Maybe that explains why I was, initially, a bit optimistic and happy in this game.
