I dropped my queen vs. Iris Zhang in the Women's Championship, won the game and tied for first in the event. Don't give up too easily.

I absolutely second Mary's advice. Also the same advice goes if you realize you've made a mistake. Making a few quick moves is more likely to get you in further trouble, so sit on your hands and figure out what's best under the circumstances. This has saved me many times from desperate positions.

My single biggest piece of advice is, if your opponent makes a move that surprises or scares you, sit on your hands for a bit and think--don't respond too fast. (I literally sat on my hands in the State Championship, after almost moving into a K+Q fork--the kid I was playing was amused, but it worked.)
