i must admit that i may be partially guilty of this crime.for the most part i normally discuss errors that my opponents made and errors that i may have made as well.however,i normally address this with very strong players.I can give 2 recent examples that happend in 2 of my matches.one was against alan grunwald,amatch that was played in las vegas last november.i did win the match and pointed out that i thought he could have been more agressive with the cube at the end of match.i was overly agressive and the worst part was that i just happend to be wrong as well.alan is apretty decent player and he was offended by my remarks.i can only say that the least i could have done,and did,was to apologise.the 2nd example was amatch i played this year in chicago i think it was against david rockwell.this time i lost the match and told david that he made ahugh mistake early on.david took it well and said that he prefers to be told of his errors,which was anice surprise to me.ofcourse this time i happened to be right.as far as im concerned i ve always preferred to be told of my own errors.i ve always believed that it can make me abetter player.even when weaker players tell me of an error i ve made.you see sometimes its the other way around,aweaker player tells astronger player his mistakes!.
