Comments.Text: @4444 I must disappoint you. I am not good :-) If I was then I would not lose very often because I quickly replied and ended up with 1 piece down or being mated. Also there is nothing more difficult then winning a game in which you (think you) have an advantage.

  Last 2 hours was one of my most embarrassing games ever.
  
  Yesterday I played against a chess club member and won 3-0, however the last 2 hours is so sad I lost for 3-0, all surrenders and no end-game.

  You do not mention time controls, psychologically speaking, that would make a big difference. I find that the faster the time control, the more likely something silly like this happens to me. I usually slow down, and play slower time controls in order to re-compose myself.
  
  Hope this helps!
