[@noahsoet9761]

Levy, your problem is not doubting yourself during the game, but after. You keep searching for evidence of you not being good enough and then you inevitably play a bad game due self doubt and then you use that as evidence to once again remind yourself for the next few days that you are not good enough. But the reality is, you’ve made incredible progress. The calculations you were able to do in the last couple games show that. You will always have bad games fueled by self doubt. What you need to learn is to move on from a game like that, instead of ruminating it over and over again. Now I know that is hard to do, so here is a suggestion. After a game like this, write all your frustrations on a piece of paper, so you can get it out of your system. Then throw it away. It may seem pointless at first, but it takes practice and it will work over time. We all believe in you, so please… JOIN US.

[@BurkeDB14]

I would recommend "The Inner Game of Tennis" and "Winning Ugly" from a sports psychology angle if you have the time/inclination to do something not entirely chess related to work on your chess performance. Inner game to help control anxiety during play and winning ugly to guide your focus after you realize you're in a losing position.

Leaving hanging pawns, or pieces, for that matter, can be used as a decoy by your opponent. So, Levy was right to be wary about capturing the a-pawn. But, Levy has good calculation skills and should have backed his calculation that capturing with Rook maintained his advantage.

Waiting for the day Levy looks back on this game and laughs. Having the ability to reflect so critically on yourself just proves you're on the right track. You got this Levy :)

Levy when you overcome your fear of failure, nothing can or will stop you from becoming a GM. Keep at it!

Levy, you were the reason why I was interested in competitive chess. Never quit chess!

I have seen so much improvement in your game and your mental outlook. You can do it.
