Gemella

I'm a composer. If you like music, visit my YouTube channel to hear my work!

Bizarrely, my strength leapt up by 200 points in February 2023.  The only reasons I can think of are these:

* I started thinking more about what my opponent might do rather than focussing exclusively on my own plans

* I realised that "if you're going to go to the Moon, at some point you have to go to the Moon."  IOW, to get good you have to raise your game, which means no more copping out, no more being unreasonable, no more grovelling, no more thinking systems or checklists, etc.  It's hard to explain in any other way, but if you want to be strong, you need to think strong.

* I accepted that I make mistakes—but so does Magnus.  He doesn't get fazed, but simply keeps on trucking.  That's what we all have to do.
