Lost another 3 games at the club...

Last Tuesday I lost all my G30 games at the club. It was not as bad as 2 weeks ago though. I had the advantage in all 3 of my games but could not convert it to a win in the time I had left. I have been playing a more conservative game lately, trying to make moves to improve my position instead of always attacking. In one game the advantage shifted back and forth.

Since I have a problem with running out of time I have started playing 1 or 2 blitz games at lunch to improve my thinking speed. Also this will allow me to play more games and get more experience in different kinds of positions.

I have also started playing some e-mail correspondence games with one of the guys at the club and try to get 1 or 2 standard games in a week.

My tactical studies have slowed some. Last weekend the weather was very nice so I got out and enjoyed it. Also my girlfriend shut down my computer with CT-Art running so I had to redo about 50 level 40 problems.

I will skip the club tonight and work on my tactics and perhaps get another standard game in.

I have also been looking through my Bishop's opening book learning more on how certain positions should be played.

I also found a new PGN viewer that I like much better than the old one and stayed up way to late playing with it, trying to figure out how to add the rotate board check box to it.

Here are a couple fun unannotated games I played recently:
1. A tough win against the BDG. Game(new window)
2. A blitz draw against a much stronger opponent. I had a winning position but let him get away with repitition. Game(new window)
