Good for you! I can't even last 15 moves against a CM let alone an IM!

The past 3 days i played 3 games against 2 diferent IMs,
They hosted a simul on ICC, i drew 2 games and lost one.
I am not really rated 1400, i just did not play any standard games on ICC and every1 starts with 1400.
The first game was on December 24, with time controls of 30/30 and he played 20 people, His ICC name is ChessMax (IM Dejan Maksimovic, 2432 FIDE), i tied this game.
The second game was against Voja (IM Milanovic Vojislav, 2293 FIDE) he is stronger then ChessMax in ICC but weaker in FIDE, time controls 30/30 and 20 people involed in this simul, I lost this game, but when i analysed it after i had 2 winning chances.. both moves i was looking at but then decided to ditch it.
The third game was against Voja as well, with 60/60 time controls, and 21 people in this simul, i drew this game, although i made some mistakes, Voja did not see them and miscalculated a move which allowed to me to make the game drawish, I was out for revenge, i lost yesterday to him, and wanted to win.
Move 22... Rxc8, i took around 21 minutes to calculate wether Rxc8 loses a pawn or not, after 21 minutes, i saw that he indeed does not win a pawn (Complicated position, he can try for a minor so i had to calculate deeply)
All these games were defensive, i am playing against a FM tomorrow and i plan to play agresssively, try for a win, and i will post my game here, i hope you enjoyed these games!!
Please feel free to say what moves were better or what i did wrong, or feel free to ask questions in which i would be glad to answer.
