Since my rating is so underinflated, I'm trying to put together a scholastic team. Right now we have a team of two players (so fourth wasn't bad...)
I've been able to handle 1900's and occasionaly give a 2000 player a head ache...but it's still hard. I prepare for the tournaments by studing tactics and my dad teaches me variants of openings but most of my knowledge comes from experience.
Carlsen is in the lead by one whole point in the World Chess Championship ^-^
@dragon how many profile pics changes have you had?
First was a dragon, then a selfie, then a butterfly, then another selfie, from what I recall.
Ehh...I'm not complaining. I don't really care...I was just wondering.

Was that tournament held before a few years back in Las Vegas? cuz I remember playing in one with a similar name or something.
I'm not sure when or where it was last held. I think it might be an annual tournament, but I am not sure.
Playing in my first online tourney, I wish now that I had some kind of prep before starting. When the game is over I'll post it.
I played in an NSCF tournament on Sunday and crushed the highest-rated player in my section on Board One. BUT I DIDN'T GET A TROPHY!

Thank you for the trophy; a shiny digital trophy for all to see does more than a real one that would just collect dust on my dresser. That's going in my Trophy Showcase!

HEHE!!! But for real, you should have won a trophy! ~.~
Probably. Some of the coordinators were not the brightest tools in the shed.
It's like in the Karate Kid [old version]. Mr Miagee says,'Anybody can buy a black belt.' Anyone can buy a trophy saying 'World's greatest chess player.'
Any hoo. Well done.
I'm going to be playing in a big tournament in February. It's open and it's actually my first tournament, but it's very high stakes for an open tournament. I'm a little nervous, but the point is to just have fun, so I just want to see how I do and hopefully get an official OTB rating. You can find out more about the tournament here:

Cool! Looks fun. You must be pretty young to be playing in that tournament.
I hope you have a good time
