Today I was in a +9 position on an OTB tournament, but then lost because after a while of playing, you get tired. This is probably why

I won many games with -2/-3 sometimes with more disadvantage. But that's not always the case. Important thing is that how did that imbalances happen? Under your control? Opponent won them by playing his own plan? this is important.
You need to shape the game in your way, you need to be in driverseat.. as much as possible. If you are losing the game you should lose it because "you" did something wrong. By this way you can have a chance to fix it later.
Most games i lost, i lost them because i didn't have idea what to do. Opponent outplayed me strategically. He shaped the game, many of my moves were like forced moves. Whatever i did wrong, i did it in the very beginning phases.. and i couldnt foresee some results. and it was too late when i realized it.
So all in all, control means more than a few points. you can sac your queen and win the game with -9 you know. find your weakness, understand where you stop talking and start listening.. if you know what i mean.
