No fight

There are some games that I end up focused on the end result and forget to fight as hard as I can in each position. I need to discipline myself to look for the best plan and/or the best move on the board and forget about what will happen later on. At least I can say I played the best I could. In every game I have lost, my opponent gave me opportunities to improve my position and even equalize. Similarly, I have made mistakes in what were won position that would have allowed my opponent to equalize. The games I collect under this topic are to remind myself of just that. Play my best on every move no matter what the end result might be. No cheap tricks even if I am way behind. I try that all the time and I think I am picking up some horrible habits.
