you maybe right it feels better positionally.

>What is your rating?
1900+ uscf but my real strength is most likely around 2100+ fide I just can't
play many tourneys these days. so far out of 3 games recently I have 1 loss 2
draws against grandmaster setting at 15 mins a game (I play better at 40/90).
And my loss was due to pushing to hard in a game I thought I was winning. I had
a good attack on his king I am sure a human would not have survived, then all of
a sudden he sacs an exchange, It looked like madness so I gladly excepted then
later it ended in an endgame I could not even draw. It played me like a flute
and I fell for it :)
