In Response To: Lesson Learned (Bob Koca)

Don't know that I will play slower in general, but certainly at select moments.

I felt in all of my earlier matches I had played a bit more slowly, looked at more candidate moves, etc., and my results obviously improved.

I think Stacy and I both got caught up in a relatively fast paced match. The 2-2 play was, I think, just reaction and frustration. Perhaps, I felt, wrongly, that if he hit me he would win and he missed me I would win. I just quickly moved the checkers and didn't consider the subsequent play.

I can forgive the misplay of not clearing the six. Misplaying the 2-2 in the manner I did inside was inexcusable. Still kicking myself for that one.
