Nobody believes in you, you’ve lost again and again, but your looking at your dream every day and saying it’s not over until I win.
Don’t listen to these bozos. Put in the work and hours and you can be a world master. Everybody can if the put in the work.

If it’s free to enter, in don’t see why not. He can just learn from the better players. Only a learning experience

Well,if u had invested that time,money and effort in learning more, pretty sure u could have scored 4/5 if not 5/5
It was my first tourament I have autism and get a panic attack easily. Also first player I had played an opening I've only seen 2 times in over a 1000 chess games on lichess and was rated somewhere from 1350-1390. In fact that boy won the whole under 1400 part. I've only been playing chess for like 4 months so give me a break
Beat your opponents by playing better moves than them at a faster rate.

List the ratings of all 5 opponents. People on here can give u a pretty close estimate of what ur 1st rating is. U scored 40% vs an unknown average rating, that average rating is important. I think 40% is kind of good for ur 1st event, even in an u1400 section.
Today will be my first ever chess tournament. It's a swiss tournament does anyone have any advice for playing in an swiss tournament or just general tournaments?
