Not brutally, that's some good news. Unlike other tournaments where I didn't win more than one match, this tourney gave me three victories and two more satisfying matches that despite my loss, I played quite well and only lost because of time - I'm not used to playing 5 minute matches.
I played two times against @rodrook, both lost but the first one was over a technicality and the second one just slipped from my fingers; @bos and @chessdiegost were my first two victories and I started off with the right foot, but then a match with @kreur which I assumed was a loss from the beginning due to our ELO difference, turned out to be a good on and I felt pretty comfortable.
If you are looking to have a laugh, check my third and fourth match, I believe they were hilarious.
After two victories and three losses, @giacomone and @vasigo defeated me, but I felt like I had both games on my pocket and I lost them due to inaccuracies... I'll get there, I'm slowly starting to play at my top level while recording videos - which can be pretty challenging honeslty.
Then, I took a victory against @schamangerbert, something that caught me off hand because he is a much stronger player than me.
Pretty good organization overall, congrats @stayoutoftherz.
If you are looking to play Chess, this is the perfect spot to try out your skills or get back to the game (looking at you @v4vapid) without any judgment from the community, everyone is pretty chill and you can learn from them.
I don't want to tag more people, but I think I want to tag some of my Chessamigos because I believe you'll enjoy this video - or at least you can give me some tips :P @samostically, @jaki01, @eniolw, @lighteye, @manncpt, @schmidi.
See you next Friday! And if you ever feel like playing and recording us, or you want to make a short show during next week's tourney let me know and we'll get to it.

Nice one, a link to the tournament should somebody wants to participate will be helpful.
Hey @anomadsoul, live streaming the games give you a chance to talk to the community, I want to do it also but I am not quite ready yet.
I have lots of bandwidth and a monthly terabyte of data but lichess randomly disconnect me for a second or two, this could have happen to you in our first game. Also you definitely had an advantage while half of my pieces were undeveloped but you lost it when you allowed me to check your king :).
