Chess Tournament
Yesterday I played in a chess tournament on chess.com. It was a 15|10 standard tournament.
The first two games I won. The first game, I was losing but played a marvelous combination that resulted in back-rank mate. My opponent resigned. The second game, I just played really well, resulting in a queen-for-rook advantage that led to his resignation after I got his rook too.
The third game I lost. I played boss11111, who was the best player in the tournament. He beat me up because he did not have any minor pieces blocking his pawn storm, and I did. Because of that, he stormed me and my storm failed. So I lost.
The fourth game I won, because the opponent sacrificed his queen for my rook. Then I promoted and sacrificed my queen for his rook, and I was up a queen in the endgame. He had 3 pawns, while I had a bishop, queen, and two pawns.
The fifth game I lost because I played the third highest in the tournament. I sacrificed most of my pawns by mistake and then I didn't notice his mate threat. I played a random move and he played mate.
In conclusion, I got fifth place out of 20. I lost on tiebreaks to my brother, who got fourth!
