Unfortunately my friend the clock reared it's ugly head so my ability to find moves like Rb2 becomes impaired. We could call that PWTPI. "Playing while time pressure impaired." I'm in trouble the day my USCF membership is suspended for too many PWTPI violations.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747958243702670987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-31478524743072068352008-07-28T13:13:00.000-04:002008-07-28T13:13:00.000-04:00Polly, Your game against King Kong wasn't so bad. ...Polly, Your game against King Kong wasn't so bad.

Though I'm finding this trip a little easier to recover from then coming back from NZ a few years ago in February. Battling jet lag in winter sucks. At least I have the sun to help me out this time around.<BR/><BR/>rt: Re8 looked very logical at the time. My thought process was "Oh let me block the passed pawn." Though it would have been a lot better to simply take the passed pawn with Qxe5. Sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious, especially late at night.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747958243702670987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-60562447019126815972008-07-17T02:57:00.000-04:002008-07-17T02:57:00.000-04:00I loved looking at your jet lag games...definitely...I loved looking at your jet lag games...definitely a "note to self" moment for me about fatigued play. I'll try to learn from your experience instead of having to try it myself. Re8, LOL...it would be funnier if it wasn't a move I'm likely to make even while at the top of my game! ;-)Our Swordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625473527059930239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-69676995265975399422008-07-16T13:11:00.000-04:002008-07-16T13:11:00.000-04:00In terms of jet lag, I always found that traveling...In terms of jet lag, I always found that traveling west across the Pacific Ocean was easier than a return trip traveling back to the US.<BR/><BR/>It never took more than a day or two to readjust my biological clock when going to Korea, but usually took several days, and many nights of tossing and turning after arriving Stateside.es_trickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511350526999060149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-2295198819142693992008-07-16T10:58:00.000-04:002008-07-16T10:58:00.000-04:00DK: That was a really well organized trip with a s...DK: That was a really well organized trip with a small group. We got to see some wonderful sites around Budapest and got excellent training with Susan and Pal.
