My first Day of the tournament

Today was the first day of the chess tournament. I left for the tournament at 9 AM. I reached there at 10 AM. The match started at 10:30. My first opponent was a boy from Royal Concord School. His name was Arnav.S. I played as White. He was a good player. The match took about 20 minutes to get over. Guess what was the result, I won.

We were the 3rd one to finish the game. I had to wait for half an hour for the others to finish. In that time I finished eating my snacks I got from home.

My next match was with a guy named Adhwaith. I played as Black. He played well. He was a good rated player. Adhwaith was from my school. Unfortunately I lost due to back rank weakness. This match really stressed me out. It went on for 45 minutes.

After this I had my lunch. My mom made pullav for me to eat. They were serving food there but I did not wan't to eat there.

After having lunch I had to start playing my next match. This match was with my classmate. His name was Arnav Amar Nair. I played as Black. He was an easy opponent to play with. I won against him very quickly. We were the first one's to finish in the under 12 category.

I secured 2 points out of 3. I am waiting for tomorrow to see who wins the tournament.
There would be 3 rounds tomorrow. The computer system will calculate and  give out the winners.
