Bad Internet II
If you read my first blog on the subject of bad internet you would know about a funny example where it affected me badly, causing me to lose a match in the NSPBCL. In this blog I will talk about two times it has been in my benefit. The first was the Tie breaking match in the NSPBCL. I was once again playing @Mi_Amigo. This time the time control was 2 1, and we played 2 games. This time it was him who had the bad internet. In the first game he won a pawn out of the opening then offered me a draw. I egearly accepted down the pawn. The next game we played into the opening and then he was affected by several blips of lag in which he lost 20 seconds. I went on to win that game partly because of his time pressure. I had won the mini-match! My team went on to when the overall maych and to take first in the league!
Here are the two games we played:

The secon instance where lag helped me was in a NSPCL game. I was playing @sougataghosh who out rated me by 100 points. As we got into the game he began to lag and then I offered a repition, but instead he hung a pawn. He continued to disconnect during the game and I am sure it was hard to stay focused because he eventually hung a rook allowing me to cruise to an easy win.
