My tournament result
The tournament was over on sunday but I didn't get time to write about it cause I had exams the next day
Here how it went
Day 1
3 games 2 wins 1 draw
Probably my best ever performance cause I played a near perfect endgame in both games I won
Had a brilliant Rook sac which won his queen after a sequence of moves in game 3
the draw was against a small kid who had a bad stomach mid match so we agreed to a draw(position was kinda equal)
Day 2
3 games 2 draws 1 lost
My entire playstyle in the first game was just asking for a draw, I was playing with black and didn't want to take the risk I was just confident that I could maybe beat her in the endgame but she was solid as well
2nd game though I should have won cause I was up a pawn and had forked his rooks but I completely forgot about that and took a hanging pawn instead ( I had around 10mins while my opponent had 30mins so I was trying to balance the clock a bit by playing a bit faster which I totally regret)
I still could have won up 2 pawns but I blundered them both and it ended in a draw
3rd game I lost. (nothing much too say about that)
Day 3
2 draws 1 lost
Another poor performance I just got too lazy and settled for draws because I was playing against small kids who were just blitzing moves to the point where they had 25-30mins while I had 5-10mins
and the thing is they weren't even playing bad moves I was just scared that I'd make a wrong move on low time so I didn't want to take risks
Overall 4.5/9
My rating dropped by 49 points so it wasn't the best performance but a good experience
Things I need to improve
Time management - the games were 30+30 which is a new time control for me so I was really bad at using my time and would be down on the clock by a lot of time which would put me in pressure.
Openings - I really needed to revise my openings again cause I don't know why but I was taking too much time in the opening even though I've played these openings since forever (I just kept forgetting the moves)
I won't be playing much chess for a few months I have exams next month, Febuary and March so I'll be taking a break
Wish yall the best in your life👍
