Tough Game

Hey all,

So this week the club started a new event.  In the first round I was paired against the highest rated player so I had limited hope but with but it has been my experience that this match up always ends with a good lesson. Bill is one of those players that after winning is more than happy to look at the game and provide some pointers on where I went wrong.  As I learn this is always a great chance for me to get in a game and get a learning conversation out of it afterwards.

Well, this game didn't get me the conversation, mainly because we were the last game to finish up and I lost in the end by dropping a rook.  Without that move I had some good chances to win.  That said, there were still many ways I could have improved my play and for once I played game against Bill that I was proud of, even given the massive blunder in the end.

If you have comments, please make them.
