Sorry I did not see your message earlier, Isaac.

60/0 is PLENTY of time for you.

With 60/0, I wouldn't even bothe "pacing" myself. I would take as much time as necessary on each move. If you play smart, and enter the endgame with a clear positional or material advantage, you can often play the last 10 or fifteen moves without hardly taking time to think. So don't save your time in the opening or midgame only to find yourself in an engame that you couldn't salvage even if you had days to play it.

Thank you I finished tied for third and had to play a playoff and blundered and drew a won game I was up 1:00 to :30 and lost the second game here is the last part of the first game.

congratulations on participating in a 60 minute tournament  !

 

 

do you have solid knowledge of rook and king or similar endings, like the basic ones? 

 

about time, i would say that u can study a lot so when it comes to the game you come with a free empty mind ready to play chess

 I think the comment that u previously received also aliviates the problem of you maybe worrying too much about things like time settings.

I wonder if you felt you had any time trouble in the tournament.

And that ending you present is a good one. nice draw...winning seemed to be beyond the 1 minute mark.
