Next time I will charge you a large sum of money for the advice and then you would most certainly take it, instead of mistakenly playing one extra game.

It was a match I had already committed to playing a few weeks ago. To my surprise I played a really nice defense after my opponent blundered a piece.
If I could've gotten out of playing the match, I probably would've done, but I think being loyal to your club is more important than your sole performance.
For those interested, here is the game in question:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 d6 4. d4 Bg4 5. Be3 a6 6. Be2 h6 7. O-O Nf6 8. d5 Ne7
