Congrats Superfraggle! Was following your last game and thought your were in trouble but great comeback. You are good at grinding a tiny weakness into a winning advantage. As of now you are the only one to beat me on chess.com so are officially my nemesis. Well done to mrkajz44 too for keeping things exciting until the end. Keen to see how I stack up with you sometime.
The tournament was a lot of fun thanks! Really enjoyed the slower format and seeing some different openings than usual. Felt I was evenly matched versus Superfraggle but he was just a little bit stronger when it mattered. Also just played 2 very competitive games against IFF. Good games against Scornfire and IM too, especially our last ones that were very sharp and could have gone either way.
Think the entire experience helped my game as I just beat my highest ranked opponent on lichess and achieved my highest ever classical ranking. Was good to get back into the habit of always checking for checks, captures, and attacks before doing the same for your opponent's potential moves. Will definitely sign up for the next one!
