Hey from the land of Mickey Mouse(Orlando Florida, USA),,,,,Big eared rat with too much money :)
I may luck out and win but after only a year at this game, which isn't quite as frustrating as golf, what do you expect?,,,I NEED LUCK :)
Sometimes you see everything and other times you are completely blind. When that happens I have learned to go watch some games. You just got to know when to fold em :)
Great book to read is The Ameteur's Mind Turning Chess Misconceptions into Chess Mastery by Jeremy Silman. Rating jumped from 1400-1700 and also Thanks to Uggi (IM) for all the lessons.
I still suck at 5 min or less that is why I play rated 2 12 or 5 12 because they at least turn into 10 min games with more time to think. Of course the saying goes, "study long... study wrong" but they obviously weren't playing chess.
