They say that gambling is bad for you. I had a big bet on the Grand National today and continued playing my game of chess at the same time.
My horse lost and I was miserable. Then I saw what I had done to a game I was winning easily and I knew what misery was all about.
If you have a strong stomach, check out game 1053459.
I`m going to have a few beers.

It happens. That's what chess is all about, coming back to the board even though you royally messed up the previous game. Stick in there.
