Ben JohnsonGUEST
So very frustrating game.
Ben JohnsonGUEST
And, yeah, because of everything else going on, it kind of like if that tournament were happening again in a month, unlike what Nate Solon said, I would go to that tournament again.
Ben JohnsonGUEST
But for another tournament, it's probably back into semi-retirement until things settle down a little bit on the family front.
JohnHOST
Yeah.
Kamryn HellmanGUEST
Um, and yeah, just being a little bit more intentional about my thought process, which includes like time management.
Kamryn HellmanGUEST
I, I think around that time I was also playing more like blitz, um, uh, and bullets, which I know you had an episode with Nate Solon debating that.
Kamryn HellmanGUEST
Um, but what it's helped, what it helped me with was I'm very slow and, uh, because I didn't play as a kid, like those patterns weren't really like ingrained in me as much as people who have been playing their whole lives.
Kamryn HellmanGUEST
Uh, so just like having, getting those reps in and practicing with that, you know, playing the good enough moves in, in time trouble helps me out a lot.
JohnHOST
I was supposed to ask you about this later, but I think that's perfect timing.
JohnHOST
Because I made an episode with Nate Solon about whether Blitz is good for chess improvement.
JohnHOST
And Nate was actually supporting that view, mostly.
JohnHOST
I support it also.
