Didn's play in winter open, Will play in Fide tournament

I am following the advice of strong players and decided not to play tournaments back to back weekends. So skipped the winter open. Used this time to analyze the games (read losses) from team tournaments. I was extremely unhappy on me for losing 3 games but now I feel, I played good games except a few misses. All these games were very rich and I could get some important lessons. I'll play in the Fide tournament on 8-9 March in Milwaukee.
