1st official USCF rated OTB win with black pieces
It was a long day at work, and I have been procrastinating almost a year to play "officially" OTB in a USCF rated tournament .. Rd #5 "last round in that tournament" on Board #11 last board
[Better late than NEVER]
Many emotions "perplexed" being informed by the TD that I have the black pieces almost felt like I'm lost.
I've been working an entire year having two coaches to prepare with the white pieces and still struggling with the black pieces!
if e4 then d5!
I have nothing in my arsenal and the Scandinavian is my only perfection. My opponent is U1900!
I have never been nervous in my life and the time control is classical 90 min with 5 sec increment. 180 minutes of nerves of steel!
Thank you for tuning in and let me know if you have any comments kindly.
