I am back home after being away with my family and enjoying a relaxing camping trip. Before the trip I played in a local teams tournament. I finished with an individual score of 3.5 out of 6 but my team did not score so strongly. I was playing board one for my team as I was the strongest rated player (ACF 1500 – Turns out I did have a rating on records somewhere?!?) I had a really fun time and it was great catching up with some old friends. I played some good games without making too many errors. Surprisingly when I made a mistake, I made a mistake! Losing my Queen in two of the matches I played (Painful!). Over the next couple of weeks I will post some of the games that I played at the tournament.
After the tournament it was great to have some time away and relax! I did however manage to play a few games of chess with my dad. I recorded one of the games we played. This was a Fisher rapid game (25 minutes + 10 seconds per move).
