At the 2023 NCC, I had played one of our national strongest at blitz in the final round. An opportunity for me to have boosted my confidence for the classical section however, I got scared because of his "reputation" and played too safe failing to seize initiative and eventually lost.
I got another opportunity to get my revenge and this time around I seized the initiative only to blow it up because my opponent was in time trouble and I got too comfortable. Any remedies to psychological weaknesses? Here's the game lichess.org/game/export/is4HBERU?evals=0&clocks=0
