As ineptly as I play, I'd think it's a large percentage, but when I really consider it I have an awful lot of ignorance too (=

I will say this, I much prefer to lose due to ignorance instead of ineptitude....If I feel I played well, but lost due to ignorance, it means I got outplayed and have an opportunity to learn about a new hole in my game. When I lose because of a mistake that I should know better, it is very frustrating...going back over the game and thinking, "If I were reviewing this game for someone else, I would immediately call this questionable....why on Earth did I play this?!"
