The best thing that can be said about this next game is that it wasn't a miniature, like the previous one. There are some useful lessons from the opening / early middlegame phase, particularly regarding the move 10 decision to avoid doubled pawns that was not in fact best. However, the main lesson is to falsify all of your planned moves - meaning, to expend the mental effort necessary to calculate if your opponent can refute them. This theme was originally introduced in
Annotated Game #35: Thou Shalt Falsify. Sometimes I find it all too easy to slip back into laziness, when a move looks fine (for me), or can be made on "general principles". It does take additional mental effort to meaningfully check for your opponent's possible responses, rather than simply giving the board a cursory look. Probably the best piece of advice I have ever received from a martial arts master is "don't be lazy", so I try to replay that in my mind whenever I am tempted to cut corners.
