Brandmair's Boast 1.2

On the 12th of April 2012 I join the Columbia Chess Club and the USCF. There I played my first rated game and surprised them all by winning it against a solid player in the 1400 rating range. The told me that most new comers to their club are either new or dont have much serious expirience in chess over the board vs. online play. They went on to congradulate me on my first rated win and told me that I'm lucky to have beaten a solid player while still not being rated yet myself for it will help. I had many silly emotions while I was at the board, but for the most part I was calm, and tried to take everything in, for it was kind of nerve~wracking playing my first rated game. Here's a picture from my favorite comic showing what I really wanted to do during the game though :P  .  Please enjoy the game, for I know I will treasure it even though it's not all that impressive. :)
