jda Sep 2022 3:43pm, 19 Sep 2022 13,419 posts	0 jda No though I will probably blog at least some of my games. The top two boards from each division in each round were streamed and can be seen here: chess.com Due to losing my first game I didn't get that far up the order, even though I finished in sole 4th place. Kate Walker's final win is here: chess.com TBH I'm a bit surprised at the mistakes on both sides (I'm sure she played better against me!) but there's pressure and fatigue to consider. Next time I'd enter the next category up but it felt tough enough for my first tournament in a long long while. 4/5 against ~1600 opponents gives a performance rating of about 1850.

JulesR Sep 2022 5:29pm, 21 Sep 2022 28,316 posts	0 JulesR Anyone fancy a new daily match? A newish team with the unusual name of International League of Petulant Adorables are asking for a match & seem a good balance if we can get about 10 boards.

JulesR Sep 2022 9:52pm, 21 Sep 2022 28,317 posts	0 JulesR Nope, more the merrier - no idea who will sign up, but we can try and match their ratings. I’ll challenge now for start date end of the month & see what happens
