Evanston Tri Level (USCF)

Time controls are 40|5

Second round pretty horrible game on my part. I should have lost but I managed to find a draw.

Next round was a friend of mine who plays board 3 for Maine South.

Final round of the tournament. I knew if I won this final match I would finally break 1600 and win in my section of the tournament. The kid was really annoying me, he kept on offering a draw even in the first 15 minutes of the game. I declined every time and I was able to win although it wasn't easy.

Good tournament overall, my rating went up from 1595 to 1628 and I won 1st place. :D
