National Schools Chess Championship 2016

After 3 months of learning chess at the Singapore Chess Federation, I am ready for some serious competition. Mummy and Daddy signed me up for the National School Chess Championship and I represent my school in the P1 and P2 category. It was a huge affair, at least to me, because there were so many people participating and it was quite overwhelming at first, even for Daddy who took the 2 days off and brought me there and accompanied me.

There were a total of 9 games over 2 days and although each game didn't take that long for me, the waiting time for the next game was rather long and daunting. The wait was due to some of the older boys and girls dueling out and sometimes it can take almost an hour of them to complete the game.

As there was quite a bit of time between the 2nd and 3rd game due to the lunch break, Daddy decided to call Nai Nai and ask if we could pop by her place, which was not too far away, for lunch. And since i just dropped my front tooth recently, Nai Nai decided to cook some of her delicious porridge for me since i can't really bite. It was yummy and I almost had a third serving.

After the 9 games, I managed to collect 3.5 points. Mummy and Daddy were really proud of me as I only started 3 months ago with this sport and I am already good enough to participate in the national competition. I am sure I will be more prepared for next year's competition and have more fun with this sport.
