1. don't be superstitious. no matter what, you can always lose
2. consider all your options
3. don't procrastinate
4. make your moves early
5. it's ok to lose, it's not the end of the world
6. don't trap yourself in a situation you can't get out of
7. stay focused and don't forget what you're doing
8. don't consider anything won until it's all over
9. sometimes you just need to quit
