2022 Summer Knights

Introduction:

On August 27, 2022, I went to a chess tournament at Rainbow Elementary School and was very excited about it. There were 5 matches for rated kids and 4 matches for non-rated kids. I was in rated K-12 under 500.

Games Played:

I won all the games but second one, the reason I lost is that I was paired up with the kid that had the highest rating. I guess I'm okay with it because this is my first tournament where I got a good score, but it also meant I needed to practice way more than I do now. Below is the picture of my standing after all the games in this tournament.

Awards:

At the award ceremony I would have got second, but I got third because of tiebreaking, there was another kid who had the same score as me but had a higher rating that's why he was ahead of me. If I hadn't lost that 1 game, I would have gotten 2nd place.
