Rule 11: Discipline must be kept up until the end.

Here is another idea that we sometimes lose sight of. Play like a pro for seven hours, then play like an amateur for the last 1/2 hour, and you can undo al the good play you achieved earlier. Your grade? An A+ in four courses and an «FВ» on the final. You scored high at first, then fell apart “ lost it all back.

Don't start out strong, then gradually fall apart as the night wears on. Play a consistent game the whole night through. Remember, we get no points for professional play in the first 90% of the game if we unravel later.
