I vlogged an OTB tournament!

Last month I played in the Dewey Beach Open in coastal Delaware. It was my first OTB event in nearly a year and I thought to record my experiences.

I ended up being the highest-rated player in the event (and the only titled player) but that doesn't mean it was easy for me at all. There were some very difficult and underrated opponents for me at this tournament and I had to work very hard to win every round.

I ended up finishing with 5/5 for the first time in my life, in any tournament, and I won a few hundred dollars as well as this trophy:

USCF Rating: 2200 -> 2212
