I’ll be turning 18 years old tomorrow, but I’ll also be playing in the Northern Virginia Open! It should be a tough tournament, with two Grandmasters already pre-registered. Last year I finished 3.0/5 , but this year’s tournament looks tougher. I’ll be happy with a 3.5/5 finish, especially if I play a Grandmaster. Regardless of how I finish, my goal is re-break 2000, recovering from the 14 rating point loss I had two weeks ago at Emporia.

Should be fun, and if things go well, I’ll write a post and make video next week!
