I coined the term doppelsession for poker sessions, but it applies equally well to blitz sessions. A doppelsession is the twin of an earlier session. Last night, I had a dopplesession of the "lower 48" session I suffered on February 2nd. I played the same number of games (16), had the same miserable record (5-11), and lost the same number of rating points (48).
For some time now, I've been trying to convince monvieux to try out the 10 | 0 time control. Meanwhile, he's been upset with me for playing much too quickly. He claims I play faster at the 10 | 0 time control than he does at the 5 | 0 one. I have no reason to doubt him. Accordingly, starting tonight, I'm going to give the 5 | 0 time control a try. If I can't slow myself down, at least I can play at a time control which forces my opponents to speed up :-)
