My first tournament as an expert will be tomorrow at the Emporia Open. Although I’m not the top seed I hope to be able to compete for 1st place in the last round. With five rounds to play, I’m aiming for at least 4/5, a full 1.5 points better than my performance last year. I’ll post my best games from this weekend here on my blog some time next week.

PS: For any avid fans of this blog out there, I’ll be posting more once my college application process is complete. A long, detailed post takes at least an hour to write, so its been difficult the past few weeks, especially with the multitude of tournaments I have to prepare for. Thanks for your understanding.
