    • Knocked out of Inter-region finals

      I played this game a week ago, in the Inter-Regional finals against Knox. My game was the last to finish and I lost. The time controls were changed from 60 min to 45 min + 10 sec increment, the increment which I completely forgot existed half way ... | Read More

    • Tourney: equal 4th place

      I placed 4th in the NSWJCL 2 day Chess tournament, scoring 9/12. The time controls are 30 mins for all moves. Of particular interest, I beat a 900+ and drew against another two 900+ as white by playing the KIA (I am only rated 762)! However, I lo... | Read More

    • Final game...

      Actually not really. We will play in the Intermediate Finals and probably become winners in our region. Unfortunately, we will probably come up against very strong opposition in the NSW finals. | Read More

    • No missed tactics this time :)

      Another game. This time after something happened, I was playing as 1st board for the B team. I won a knight in the opening but she refused to make any more blunders (until the very end). This game is more like a positional squeeze whilst being up ... | Read More

    • Hmm...not so easy...

      Summary: I had a very bad day today (despite winning). I might have forgot to put a few question marks in a few places... Another NSWJCL game. I was technically not supposed to play (as 2nd board forfeited) but since I had only played one game so... | Read More

    • Easy games :)

      This post covers the last two games I played in the NSWJCL Interschool Chess Competition. My third last game was forfeited. P.S. I can't be bothered to add annotations. I've found a tactic I could have played earlier in the first game and the sec... | Read More

    • What happens when you sleep at 12:00am and play chess the next day...

      I was doing homework And I ended up having a headache (and I felt tired). I should have easily beaten my opponent, however we both made errors and reached a drawn position. Unfortunately for him, he made a couple of mistakes and that made me win... | Read More
