sorry for the slow blogging lately. after i came back from monofeya i had one day to rest then i started the National Chess Championships.
yes, you read right..the big event...it took place in nasr city and over 200 players participated, all very strong. The competition was 11 rounds in 12 days (1 rest day) and it just finished today.
its my first time participating in this event so i wasn't expecting any big results. overall i played some good chess but my results could've been better...i always had to do some mistake at the end of the game due to time trouble or just plain lack of concentration.
i ended up with a score of 6 out of 11 (4 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses) which puts me in the the top 50 players of the tournament.
the tournament was very exhausting and i'm glad it's over. enough chess ba2a, two big chess tournaments in a row can't be good for my health. or mental stability.

I don't know how to play chess and I won't be making any plans to change that any time soon. However, glad you enjoyed your time there and kudos for landing a spot amongst the top 50!
