Whoa very nice. I've recently joined a chess club that has a round of rated swiss every Thursday. I drew against the #2 and #4 seeds in my first two games. Both were confused by my low rating. Maybe I should go to a cash tournament and steal some quick cash.

Just curious. Where did you finish?
|
I ended leaving in a hurry and forgot my adhd medicine (Not for cheating).
I finished poorly actually i had some good positions but had used too much time to get to them.. ie one game i had a very very winning position but we had only played 30 moves and only 2 sets of minors had been traded, and i had 15 minutes left from G/120 I blundred 2 games in time trouble, i gave someone a draw because i was unsure how to convert the advantage ( bishop + 2 pawns vs 4 pawns endings are the devils playground ), and round six i was tired frustrated and annoyed and made some very poor moves and resigned before move 20.
I ended with 1-2-3 and my worst tournament of the year -_-
Also golem i usually check those already; I'm in the rating range where most people no longer wantonly hang pieces about lol ( normally i know everyone misses something dumb once in a while)

I've been looking for local chess tournaments for months, never actually played in one. Also been looking for players/clubs. I've given up hope though, gonna have to make the drive to a larger city one day to play OTB.
So anyway I am jealous. Good luck to you.

have you checked the USCF website? i think they have a list of clubs and stuff.. though i'll assume you know how to google stuff like that lol
when i was in seoul for a week i found and played in a chess tournament even thanks to the FIDE website. Some nice people there

I wonder if I should pick up chess again... I stopped when my little brother got better than me (I was about 1300 lol).
He's 2000+ now.

I'm ~2200 CFC and FIDE and it's still quite applicable for me! It's crazy the stuff people will miss sometimes.

I know i Should, i mean there was the game from the US championship where a GM hung his bishop on c1 to a queen on g5 on move 7 that is nice reminder of that lol
