My Fifteenth Chess Tournament

There isn't much to say about the games that I played in this tournament. Three of them were against significantly weaker players, so I easily won those. Though these games were not completely blunder-free on my part, my weaker opponents failed to take advantage of my few blunders. The game that I lost in Round 2, though, was heartbreaking. I had a good position in the opening and middlegame, but blundered the game away in time trouble.
