A Terrible Day

I am unlucky today. I suffered many defeats in Yahoo Chess. Too many blunders and miscalculations. My rating is down below 1600 which is not a good sign for me because I am planning to play in a chess tournament tomorrow. But I am seriously considering not to join the tournament because I might perform badly. I have to regain my self-confidence. I think I will rest for a a couple of weeks then go back to studying and playing on-line before I play again in a tournament. I have a long way to go before I reach master strength.
