time pressure story

Lauren here!
Here's a interesting story I'd like to share....

A couple of years ago, when I played at the all women's tournament,
I remember when my opponent got
into time pressure (about less than 1 minute) and so
she started to move really fast. I was in a winning
position and had about seven minutes left.
Since she was moving so fast, I ended up moving my
pieces quickly too, which was a big mistake. I ended
up stalemated her! She got really lucky that I
didn't beat her!!

Here's what we can learn: don't move fast unless you really have to!
