I have told him repeatedly to not take this so seriously.  If he screws up, he
just screws up.  Heavens knows I have "screwed up" in enough tournaments to know
that a "flawless" event is so very unlikely to happen.  I told him that if he
drew an opponent he thought we should be able to beat, or if we lost to an
opponent we should be able to beat, to just go to bed, and get ready for the
next round.  No point in worrying about what might have been, when there is
plenty to do about what might be in the next round. :)

I also told him very precisely that if he loses every game due to operator
blunders, it won't cause me to lose any sleep at all.  Stuff happens. :)
