Second Game from my Tournament (Post #28)
Hi!
I finally put in my second game from the tournament, so here it is. My opponent played more passively, and I was able to get the initiative and start an attack. Afterward, some poor decisions left me with a slight edge, and my opponent missed a tactic that let me win a minor. They then tried a trap for me, which I didn’t fall for, leaving me up a rook. After that, it was just cleanup.
I was pretty glad to win that game. My score for the tournament at this point was 1/2, which is okay considering that I hold the lowest rating of 888 (though I’m probably underrated considering my chess.com rating is around 1500). I’ll hopefully get to posting my next game, so stay tuned! Also an update, my first tournament game stopped showing up, so I’ll fix that.
