Hey Jesse! you disappeared. but i found you so ill be back posting games 
cheers.
Hi Jesse,
This is a game I played against FM John Meyer, my first ever game OTB against a titled player. It's an error-filled game but it was fun. 90/40 SD30 +30". I'm also happy to report that I've been beating/drawing higher rated opponents much more regularly now that I've addressed some of my time management issues. I went past my USCF peak at the tournament last weekend and hope to make further progress after the brief slump I hit in the second half of last year. Thanks as always for any insights you can provide based on this game for what I can work on to improve further!
Thanks,
Vishnu

GM Kraai doesn't like the Winawer variation of the French Defense because Black typically gives up his dark-square bishop. I don't like the Winawer because I almost always lose when it is played against me. This was a Daily Chess game (3 days to make a move) played in December. It began before and ended after GM Kraai's review of our games last month.
Reviewing games is hard for weak players like me. It's like reviewing an essay written in a language in which I am not fluent. I am certainly not fluent in chess.
I played this game during a team competition and due to some error, perhaps by our opponents team captain or i just read the lineup incorrectly, i thought my opponent was rated 1800
