This was my first over the board tournament. I don’t have a lot of memories of this one though. 😭

This tournament was a great turning point in my chess journey. After thrashing my first opponent, my second match was against a 1500+ rated opponent. (He was my first rated opponent 😅)

The opening didn’t go well for me… I was a pawn down barely defending a bad position with my king still in the center. I somehow managed to simplify if to rook endgame.

My opponent blundered and i went from two pawns down to one pawn up! After a few exchanges the promotion of my pawn was inevitable and my opponent resigned. 🎊

Even though i went on to lose every single game of the tournament after that😅, This game had a huge impact on me. It gave me an everlasting passion (hopefully…) towards the game of chess.

This was the first tournament I played representing my school… and yes, i proved my worth. It was a great experience filled with crazy incidents, but being with my friends I enjoyed it a lot.

So bad news first, I lost the last game along with my chance to qualify for the district team. I learnt my lesson - don’t try new openings in a tournament.

Now the good news…(to be continued…)
