Once the opponent blunders, then the pressure is on the person who is winning to win the game. This can cause one to think, or wallow, and can help in quick games.

Seems like Houdini stabilized the situation well, op's count is locked.
Hey guys, just been wondering about how somebody can come back from a blunder. Its been on my mind all day at school and during my english class i decided to go to chesscube and blunder some games away. Anyways my plan didnt work so i came home and matched up with a strong 1870 player. I decided to play a blunder. My opponent took the hint and took the knight i was offering. So i went on in the game hoping to give me something that could help me stabilize myself after the ¨blunder¨
After this position my opponent was up in material and i was considerably down in time. So i kept playing looking for compesation, finally it came. I manged to take the knight for free on move 25. My opponent considerably played badly from then on. He blundered his queen on 32. From there we both had 20 seconds so consiredably i played premoves only moving my pieces on white squares since he had a dark square bishop.
Things to think about when down in material in blitz matches!
1) Its only a blitz match so dont take the match seriously. If you lose, you lose. But you should be aiming to win even down in material.
2) Dont lose your concentration. This is one of the most common reasons for a blunder, when you play chess.. think about chess.
3) Never take your opponent for granted. He could be lower in points but play him as u would play a grandmaster.
4) Dont think too much about your clock. As it oftens happens you are down in time during the endgame. There it is much safer to premove. Take your time in the middlegame.
Thats all from me guys. Have fun playing blitz. Just wanted to share this with you guys.
