#403 STC Game Tonight

Tonight, in the STC Gauntlet's 3rd round, I have Black against a 1751-rated Argentinean. The game is scheduled for 7:00 EST on FICS.

Hope it goes better than my last 5 STC blacks (+0-3=2).


Update 11:11 p.m.

I was 2 pawns up, blundered twice, got a 2nd chance, missed that win and lost :
