which move?
My chess tournament
Sort:
Looks like you had a good tournament. Congrats!
@nate23 I think it's 15. Qb3, my attack was going strong and his pieces were all passive, I should have realized I had potential and might have found Qb3!
@mattguy444 thanks!
I learnt nothing but how to resign and make a draw.

I suggest gradual learning. I don't understand some moves Kasparov makes unless it's explained to me by another master in a commentary. Before trying to learn from 1900+ game you should have a more than basic knowledge of openings, strategy and tactics.

@nate23 really? Tell him that I had an easy win in our game the next time you meet him.
@JMB2010 He was so happy to reach time control that he didn't focus on the game. Too bad for him! I remember I was skipping ecstatically all hyper after I found the draw!
Was the game over at least? Otherwise you'd be a pretty annoying kid to play 
Good games though, I enjoyed the draw too (although I wasn't skipping around my house lol :)
By the way, Abhishek, are you really 13 as your profile says? If yes then you have a bright chess future ahead of you!

I"d say the kid's chess present is looking bright as well. I think it's great.

interesting story in my last round game, I was playing a guy with the last name of Hater and sure enough, after I won, he stormed off in a huff.
funny
At least you played one 2000 player!
The ratings are inaccurate though; there was one 2000 who was actually 1500 or something (the name is Brandon Eshelman), he ended up beating the WFM I beat!

One time in the World Youth I played someone named Curse. Yes, you can guess what he did after an overlooked tactic...
I had an easy win against Alan Gregg, but the move was hard to see.
