Chess-a-mania

I have been playing chess for a long time. My rating is going to be over 1000. I really love to play chess.



I like the position when you get a queen for a knight: e4-e5, Nf3-Nf6, Nxe5-Nxe4. And then Qe2-N anywhere, Nxc6+ winning the queen!

I won a first place trophy in my last tournament. I won all five games. My toughest game was against a person whose rating was 920. I lost my queen in the opening, and I got it back when I was ahead 2 minor pieces and a pawn. He made a stupid mistake. He hung his queen. That means putting it in an undefended, attacked square.

I am going to the State Chess Tournament. I am going to play in the K-3 Open and the K-9 U1000. It is going to be really hard. I am going to have to play some tough players. I think I'm going to do very well in the K-9 U1000. My rating officially isn't yet over 1000.
