Slow Month

I haven't played much this month, although I am continuing to do tactical problems. My tactical vision seems to have gotten worse over the last month as I have dropped a significant amount of ratings points on both of the sites I do problems on. Quite often I just am not seeing the continuation and the other problems I tend to second guess myself on. I'll actually talk myself out of the right move.

Here is a game from a while back that I thought I played fairly well. I did miss a mate in two, but over all I thought I did well.
