In this game, I was comfortably ahead, but then missed a discovered attack on my queen. I went from ahead to behind in a flash. Now what? It was as much a psycololgical blow as it was a chess blow. My initial thought was that I had lost the game. I continued to play on and through some good moves of my own, and a few key opponent mistakes, I saved the game. I could only wonder if my opponent was affected by winning the queen and lost sight of the need to continue to make accurate moves.
