So, with the two intentional shots, and the possession, white ended up winning by about 6 or 8. The loss wasn't quite my fault exactly, but it sure was a bad error, nonetheless.

After the eval very gently pointed out my shortcoming (frankly I'd rather he yelled), I had about an hour and a half to stew until my next assignment. How did I get past it? I went and talked to myself for a little while, kicked a locker a couple times, and then tried to replay the situation in my head, with me taking those two crucial steps to get the great angle. Then I went and watched some other campers for a while.

When I make a mistake like that in the middle of a game, and have to keep going, I don't handle it very well. Maybe someone else can help you -- and me! -- with that one.
