My First Round for 2020 Daily Chess Championships
Hey Chess Friends. This is my blog post for my first round of the 2020 Daily Chess Championship. I am playing in the 2020 Daily Chess Championship for the first time. For me, the new schedule was a bit difficult at the start but it is easier now. This blog post will contain my games.
I was playing in group 1393 and was second seed with a rating of 1769 just 4 rating points behind the top seed. Unfortunately, due to the challenging schedule, 6 of my games were timeout victories where more than one move wasn't played. This left me with only 16 real games. This was the field I was up against. The first games I will discuss are against the top seed.
This game finished before my second game against the top seed.
This game was quite boring. He just missed a tactic and was lost.
This game was very smooth and I didn't have to do much work.
This was a very wild game and it was very difficult to pull off the win.
This game clinched my spot in round 2.
As an overall, this game wasn't very difficult.
This game was also a very smooth victory.
This game was a very quick victory.
This game should have been drawn but I got very lucky to win.
This was a very easy game for me.
This win wasn't very difficult either.
This game finished extremely quickly and didn't require much work.
This was also not a very challenging game.
For me, this attacking victory gave me a great feeling and I think it was my best game by a long shot.
I am sort of disappointed about missing Bh5 in this game but other
I then that there were a few inaccuracies but it wasn't too shabby.
The rest of my games were all timeouts.
It was a disappointment that there were so many timeouts but I am glad I made to round 2 especially after my loss to the top seed. I think my play wasn't too shabby but there were some howlers in some of the games. I can't wait till round 2 and hope there will be a minimal amount of timeouts and a much stronger tournament from round 2 and on. I hope everybody had some good games in the tournament and congratulations to all the section winners.
Thank you for reading my blog.
Farewell till Round 2 Everybody.
