Why did Tomo choked so badly?
This is not the first time he choked. I remembered in a recent match with Chen Junsong he choked badly too , losing many consecutive points. There are many reasons why but one reason I would like to highlight is his aggressive cho after every point won.
From my observations. It is very important for him to cho as loud as possible to regain and consolidate his confidence. As long as he has the chance to cho now and then, his game will mostly go well. The more often he chos the more aggressive he becomes. But after losing a few consecutive points, Tomo quickly loses confidence and becomes passive because he has no opportunities to cho. The more point he loses the quieter he becomes until he finally loses the match. So cho’ing like no tomorrow is very important for Tomo. Without it he falls flat. Please forgive him for his noisy chos, he can’t do without them!
