Last week I lost my first AYD game. But then, the next morning I played a game that I knew would be reviewed by Guo Juan. In my AYD game, I had played Black. In my GJ game, I played White and my opponent obligingly played the exact same opening I had played as Black the day before! So I got to try the same game from the other side. :) Unfortunately, I didn't get my AYD review until after my second game. Here are comments from both.
