									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a long &#8220;practice&#8221; session (overzealous playing without fully completing study) I thought it best to finish the breaking 1500 course. Watch the &#8220;tilted&#8221; lesson if you are losing and getting upset. Nelson reminded me we all need to just stop and give ourselves a break. </p>

Then my opponent offered to sac his queen twice on move 8 and 9 and got mad (kidding) when I didn&#8217;t see it and proceeded to kick the snot out of me. After that I got to practice finding a good attack. Good game to my opponent. Moral: take the queen when its offered haha  </p>
