Haha, yes, I've gotten the same feeling many times. I was once in a tournament in real life playing someone over 500 points above me. I got a great position out of the opening and then my opponent made a huge blunder. Being just over 1300 I didn't see it at first and walked outside to get some air. I didn't even think about the game while I was out, but when I came back to the board and saw the winning move right away and played it without hesitation. The tactic lost a piece for him with no compensation, and he was so embarrased he covered his face and resigned! I said "Good game" and he said "Whatever" and that was that.
Your story is better though :P And your english is good.
Hi everyone !
This is my first post to start in this great website, hope you find it entertaining. I was playing in a college tournament couple of months ago, and in the first round we reached this position, well before you look at the game let me share something with you. I sometimes "feel" the potential advantage I could get when my oponent plays a seemingly natural (but actually bad) move, despite I can't tell why it's bad. Then I begin calculating some lines and finally after a series of moves I reach a position in which I got the desired advantage or initiative. I'm sure everyone else, to some extent, has this behaviour/habit. To make this clear take a look at the following:
Eventually, I lost that game after 7.Nc3 which I played. The funny part about it is that I did not see the winning 7.Bd2 right after the game. I only saw it at the end of that day when I laid down on bed and was going to sleep! suddenly I jumped, quickly set my chess board and analyzed the winning move. As I recall, my roommate woke up because of that chaos and looked very pissed off, when I told him about the story, he started laughing his @ss out!...
Hope, you enjoyed, your comments appreciated...and sorry for my bad english!
