The first table on the left features the last game I played, shown below!

This weekend’s tournament went above and beyond my expectations. I had just finished the 4th cycle of the Woodpecker method, with the first 500 exercises. The first round was already a total wake-up call because my opponent blundered a piece after 10 moves, but I still lost. It was strategically lost when I decided to put my king on g8, blocking all my undeveloped kingside pieces. Luckily, my mental was really good for the second game and I managed to bounce back with a win.

In the third round, I lost out because of an opening blunder against 1.c4. My opening pawn moves were good! But I misplaced my queen and lost a pawn. After that, I could have fought harder tactically speaking, but instead, I traded all the major pieces and was left without any chances.

The last game was a lot of fun to play. I had already scored 2/5, when my goal was to reach 1,5/6. After an opening mistake by my opponent, I decided to play a fun game with a double pawn sacrifice as black, after which a lot of other sacrifices followed to keep the initiative. You can see the game below.
