Just make the right estimation of your own strengths and weaknesses, and also that of your opponent.

First of all, we have to go back to the classical time control.

I still love to play chess. So I do not even spend a minute on the possibility to step back.

I didn't picture myself as even a grandmaster, to say nothing of aspiring to the chess crown. This was not because I was timid - I wasn't - but because I simply lived in one world, and the grandmasters existed in a completely different one. People like that were not really even people, but like gods or mythical heroes.

It doesn't require much for misfortune to strike in the King's Gambit - one incautious move, and Black can be on the edge of the abyss.

The truth is that my chess development was nothing out of the ordinary, and it proceeded probably at a pace no faster than others.

Style? I have no style.
