00:00But it's to learn something that's useful for you.
00:03And that's one of the, I hope, one of the results of these lessons, of these conversations,
00:10of these stories, that you'll find something that might help you to realize your own potential.
00:25Definitely I did lose more games than I wanted.
00:28So each loss was a devastating loss because I knew that it was a result of my mistake.
00:38Sometimes blunder.
00:40Actually more often blunders because that's, I wouldn't recall many games where I was outplayed.
00:46There were a few, but mostly I lost games because I made terrible mistakes.
00:51And I had to recover from this mistake because it was almost like a physical pain.
01:00I felt so badly that I made a mistake and somebody else who was not as good as myself, you know, could celebrate winning the game, which had to be mine.
01:12So I was very angry with myself, not with my opponents, it's myself.
01:17It's my own fault.
01:19I always look at my losses, my defeats as my personal fault.
01:24And all I had to do, just work more, just go back to the table, to the chess set and get better.
01:33Very often, actually, it's probably more often than not winning the next day.
01:40I won the next day because I got really angry with myself and I could channel this anger into productive energy to achieve the result.
