Chess

What a game. So much fun to be had, so much stress to be had as well. :)

Here is my page where I’m going to store my past tournament experiences. Both OTB and Online but trying to put a focus on the OTB.

Lucca Chess Festival 2022

Lucca Chess Festival 2022 was a Chess tournament hosted in the northern part of Lucca, outside the walls.

Gary and I travelled down there via train for the weekend. It was maybe crazy to take him with me but I really would have felt so bad leaving him alone when I could just bring him. But in the end, I think he wasn’t a huge fan of t...

Lichess4545 LoneWolf Season 28 (U1800)

Lichess4545 LoneWolf Season 28 is my current and ongoing third season in the Lichess LoneWolf league. I was registered in the U1800 category based on my rating.

Very stupidly slept through my 2nd match scheduled for New Years Eve. I flew back to Italy the day prior and completely slept through the match. My only loss in the first 7 ma...

Lichess4545 Season 33

Lichess4545 Season 33 as Board 7 for Dead Pawns Society.

Season 33 was my first trophy in the Lichess 4545 league! I didn’t play the greatest BUT we finished a close second behind Londoners against the system.

Could have won the whole thing if we just converted and extra .5 in the second to last week. I could have drawn or won...

Lichess4545 Season 32

Lichess4545 Season 32 as Board 7 for God Sac the Queen.

Season 32 is my first season as a full time player. I also made the jump from Board 8 to the Board 7 seat.

Honestly, it is so frustrating because I played relatively horrendously and it definintely wasn’t only totally because of the jump from Board 8 to Board 7 but that m...

Lichess4545 Season 31

Lichess4545 Season 31 as Board 8 for The Fellowship of the Ding.

This season I started off as an alternate becasue I signed up late. Then Round 4 was the first spot where it was open and I had a shot to play. I joined the slack channel for The Fellowship of the Ding. I won my match and the team raised it to me that their Board 8 quit ...

Lichess4545 LoneWolf Season 26 (U1800)

Lichess4545 LoneWolf Season 26 was my first season in the Lichess LoneWolf league. I was registered in the U1800 category based on my rating.

A simple 6/11 was a pretty fair result I feel. I had a pretty rough start to the season, with a massively horrendous Queen blunder but finished pretty strong with 3.5 score in the last 4 rounds....
