Is there anything more heart-wrenching than...
...blundering away one's Queen in a late endgame? Well, maybe. But not by much! AARRGH!
Okay. This afternoon I lost two correspondence chess games, resigning in both of them. In one game I was simply outplayed. And that game I shall subject to a proper post mortem, to try and learn from mistakes I made there. I always feel rather badly about losing a game, but if a loss can teach me something about myself, can help me become a little stronger in the future, well... that is some salve to the wound.
But that other loss! Oh, Lord! That just hurts! How could I have been so blind?!
Oh well...
The adventure continues at a somewhat humbler pace right now. Darn it.
