My performance was horrid with only one draw in the qualifying rounds (G/29). I arrived late for the first round, unbathed, unfed, and not looking forward to playing and I ran out of time. My second game produced a blunder with less than 2 minutes remaining on my clock, I still ran out of time. In the third game, I listfully played Katie Patterson and gave up lot's of material for a true loss. After some lunch and a refreshing latte, I played Kevin Patterson to a true draw and lost my final round to Kurt Douglas after wrecking him. Of course, time pressure crushed me and I made some mistakes in my under 30 seconds of play which caused me to lose on time again. Blah! I guess I need to play more blitz or to play in longer game controls only.
