Hello Alois or Jeff,

My question is how do I play important matches and keep cool about it?

Hi Henry,

The more matches you play the better you will get at it.

One thing to focus on is to be able to control your emotional level.  A simp method for this is to focus on your breathing and working on calming yourself.  We will be doing a course on this area.
