My Governor's Cup Results Sioux Falls

Played in the SD Governor's Cup -

I was excited to play in my first FIDE rated tournament, SD Governor's Cup.  It was a lot of fun.  My overall play was good.  I threw away some good chances but made use of them too. My openings were basically all the same in the three games. Total 1.5 points in 3 games.


The first game I played fine.  I missed a few tactics but overall was a reasonable game. I had a lot of fun. Apparently played an "English Defense".  I feel like I could have dragged the game out a while but I was never going to win and thought he was good enough to avoid a draw.  I was hoping to go over the game after so I resigned with hopes that we could go over it.  It was a good lesson learned.

Game 2 was filled with many missed opportunities. Because game 1 went so well I decided to basically try the same set up again but only as white pieces.  Essentially playing a white nimzo-indian defense but with a tempo. 

Many missed opportunities for white in this game. I was disappointed. Plenty of lines to explore.  The paths to victory were limitless and I picked a path that was a draw.

Game 3 was my final game of the tournament.  Something came up and I couldn't finish playing the next day. I thought it was my best game with mistakes that didn't matter much at all. I don't even have much to comment

Overall I was pleased.  Maybe I'll add more to this later.
