Die Hard

The last game was interesting the will the desire to play a game of chess could not elude me despite my plan not to play any chess during a period of a chess slump. Surely twenty seven games in twenty four hours with a chess slump is one of those violations of my plan. Nevertheless I backed off from the marathon type games my makeup isn't suited for the long distance hours of one game after another and I see little advantage in the rigors of those tough hours of play especially when there are more loses than wins. Maybe another time but only if I find it enjoyable or worth my while rather than self torture. I figured I might as well play a higher rated chess player he will more than likely beat me but I figured so what everybody else from those with poor records were killing me why not just another player rated higher than me(1265 rated) at least I know he was favored. A funny thing happened nevertheless. I won and I didn't see it as a fluke.
