I'm writing to say a kind word to all those who get down from the losses.
I said I'd play one game before returning to work, the first game I saw, and give it my all. 1+0zH against a 500+ player popped up in the lobby and I'm sure you can imagine how it went...
While there's lots of room for analysis, what I see here is a common error across games I lose with missing a move that will complete the mating net, specifically 25...N@c5#.
What's to appreciate about this? Probably that I even got that close in my first game of the day. I usually play rusty till I've had a few warmups under my belt. There's a lot to appreciate here: If I can come this close while still in a developmental phase, imagine what happens next!
So don't give up if you got some losses keeping you down; be optimistic because whatever's next is yet unwritten and your own mind, thoughts, and feelings are already composing the future. ;p
(Maybe all ^that^ isn't so much about analysis of the game as analysis of my psychology...feel free to set that aside if you're feeling trollish and give me some good thoughts on what else I missed!)
