The funny thing is, I thought I'd get destroyed in my first tournament (class E section, and I did pretty decently actually) because my dad kept beating me.
Did you beat all your friends and family and then...
Sort:
For me exactly the opposite, every one I've played were kicking my ass , including my family and when I joined here I was reliefed, that finally somebody is weaker then me .
Yes. I regret it completely. But I didn't completely beat all my friends. There were like 2 1700+ rated friends I had and they completely thrashed me. However, i got better playing with them. I'm planning to reach 1400 in blitz soon with a bit of practice. Funnily enough, when I play on the board, I don't blunder.
Maybe you've had some difficult readjustment after facing real opposition?
Hmm?
