monvieux has been calling me out for playing too fast, and he's right. I've settled on the 10 minute time control, so it's a crime to be playing at a 3 minute time control pace. I'll have to work on slowing myself down.
Last night I had another losing session - 3 wins, 6 losses, and one draw. My long term goal must now take a back seat to a shorter term goal, namely, to win more games than I lose. If I can't achieve that, I'll never improve my blitz rating.
In one of my losses, my opponent gave me the gift of two tempi at the beginning of the game; he moved a knight to c6 on move two, and moved it back to its original square of b8 the very next move. This strange behavior nonplussed me. I assumed he wasn't very good, played too aggressively, and paid the price.
