and after all that whining - one win
so I just finish my 13th loss post - and I decide to try one more 15 minute game - it comes up as a 2100 player who is an IM from the Ukraine - well what the hell - at least I won't lose but one rating point
he must have caught the same thing I did because for some reason he just blundered at a point when I thought he was about ready to take the positional advantage and he resigned - (probably in utter disgust - I know the feeling)
so in a weird way, it's my first IM scalp - maybe that'll help a bit
