I will try to take the positive vibe from Monday and Wednesday's games, and carry that through the weekend. We'll just skip over Thursday's time pressure meltdown. That was mere blip on the chess horizon. The only game I didn't flag came to its' own ugly ending. It's too bad I didn't have that little arrow pointing the way during the game.
I picked up my c5 rook to play Rxd5. As I reached for black's d5 rook I suddenly noticed I had this problem with Qh2 that could not be resolved with a rook move. I think he might have said something if I put the rook down, said "J'adoube" and tried to play g3 instead. I played Rxd5. Hey maybe he'd make the recapture and miss the mate. Maybe I'll go 6-0 in the Open Section this weekend. Maybe pigs will fly......31 rating points forward, 29 backwards. C'est la vie!

Every tournament is different. One player can beat you in one tournament the next tournament you can play him off the board.
Anyway, just analyze your games and see where you want wrong and what you did do wrong. And then never do it again! :-)
It's never doing it wrong again part that trips me up. LOL
