(4/4) On another note I could do with some tips on how to get a good sleep. It seems like I am a fully fledged insomniac. 😵‍💫
I was in bed at 1am last night but didn't even manage to get 1 minutes sleep after tossing and turning all night. Been awake for about 40 hours now. 😱

(3/4) I missed one very likely obvious winning move.
Here I played Bg2? but I should just play Qh6!
For some reason I had missed ...Qxh6 Bxh6 ...Nxc3 a3! Which is game over.
In the end I lost 😔 after Johann played excellently.

♘ Chess Quotes

“If we fail it’s not because our machines are too intelligent, or not intelligent enough. If we fail it’s because we grew complacent and limited our ambitions. There’s one thing only a human can do. That’s dream. So let us dream big.”
by Garry Kasparov
