We really did do so well. We are finally coming back together Alice. Just like we wanted!!! And I should have believed you when you said I was getting better. I didn't realize until today how good I was getting... =D
We do rule. Believe it
Haha, now you should trust in me more! lol XD It's hard to see your progress by yourself, so you must trust in the coaches and the team. ^_____^ I'm proud of you, Steph! I hope you will continue to grow and then become team capt yourself senior year. ^_^ You have a great desire to improve, that's one of the things you need to be a great player! Good job!

Awww thanks Alice. And Maybe you should trust the coaches too. They told you that you could get first!
This thread reminds me of a Woody Allen movie

I'm just gonna rain on this little parade- it's what you get for parading in my rain >:D Don't get overconfident. There is always room for improvement, there are always mistakes to be made. I learned that when I missed being a champ by one point when I could have beat the arrogant chump I went against. Keep practicing, even if you feel like it is an unnecessary accommodation. Play like your life depends on it- because I know mine does. -V
Rob,
Are you kiding? Of course I do not believe I am super awesome or do not need practice. If I was good, I wouldn't have made the mistakes I did and I would have won more. I am just saying that I saw an improvement by practicing the mating patterns like Alice told me. I practiced openings like you told me and I got my pieces developed faster like Mr J told me.
Oh My Goodness. Today was the best day in the entire world. We did so good. I think our team is finally coming back together. We were trying our best and we brought home some trophies.
When I had a chance to watch other people's games, I saw that we were improving a lot. I noticed even in my own games that I am becoming more comfortable with the moves. I can find better moves faster, protecting my peices isn't as hard anymore, and I am not afraid to sacrifice a piece to get me that sweet checkmate. Yeah! Make them all cry!-- Mr. R (lol)
I have to say, Online practices have really helped me. (Thanks Rob, Alice, Mr.J, and Mike for playing me... over and over) I didn't think I was getting any better because I just kept losing. Today really showed me how much I have improved. I didn't stress over the game, I was comfortable with it. I was thinking about my moves without freaking out over any other factor.
Mr. R and Mr. J are the best coaches in the history of the world. I love those guys!
Steph <3
