Ever experienced this? You challenged or got picked by some other coach - everything is nice and friedly.
Ther game is cool and fair... maybe not... but still fun.
The game proceeds and somehow the scales tip to your advance. Nothing to worry about - normally you would expect your opponent to get more rougth or maybe start fouling.
But then something else happens...
The opponent doesn't just react to your moves, he starts criticising your way of play.
Well to be honest - in my case - i got criticised because of my speed and worse because of playing as save as possible... last thing has influence on general gaming speed...
So your opponent starts writing that you should speed up... take a look on the watch - or that he hasen't much time left and he has important things to do...
Being a nice person you start thinking about playing faster...
This ends in hasty moves, little or big mistakes and a bad feeling about your turn in general.
But feeling bad doesn't let you win or keep your advance.
This way some opponents even try to weaken you and gain an advantage...
But in the moment your opponent realizes that you stick to your "slow" playing style, he gets frustrated and even starts to foul - a thing he hasn't maybe done until now...

So what do you think?
Should you start playing faster and hasty and also skip some moves to secure the ball, opponents or protect own players to be kindly to your opponent?
Or should you stick to slow and secure playing - even if it's just about some SPPs... or protection of players?

I think i will stick to secure playing in the future.
There are only few things more frustrating than loosing with the awareness that you haven't done all possible things, even if you knew that there is more possible.
As long as i have one spare minute at the client-clock i will spend it for playing (if needed).
And if my cat starts burning at the end of the time - then i have to live with the consequences... and choose what's more important.
