It's a speed chess game I just watched. Let me know if I screwed this up. I can't copy and paste from the site.

I was so fixated on how black was going to win - I didn't see the danger at all. I only knew black was toast due to the evaluation bar suddenly indicating mate in 2.

[Edit - I fixed a mistake]

I could go back through my games.

That's certainly an option. What I do is play though other people's games. For me personally - going through my own games is no fun at all. But whatever works and keeps it fun is key.

Physical contests like MMA stamina is something that some fighters skimp on. I've always been kind of amazed how many fighters don't fully understand how important stamina is. I think of endgames being the "stamina" of chess.
