I was so lucky yesterday, because I was home, not asleep, and it was possible for me to participate to the Tournament organized by they Hive Chess Community!
For more info, please check out the recent post by @stayoutoftherz https://hive.blog/hive-157286/@stayoutoftherz/hivechess-tournament-season-20-round-2-samostically-was-the-winner-by-a-thread and check out my post https://hive.blog/chess/@katerinaramm/join-hive-chess-community-fqd
I had a lot of fun, but I only won one game.. because .. because...
I was not aware that the game would be free style - and it took me sometime to realize that.
I had never played online chess before, so it took me sometime to adjust. I also played against some really good players who had an offensive strategy (good for them) - but apparently I will need more practice to be able to be a worthy opponent.
The tournament takes place at 10:00 pm my time, so I am usually sleepy so late because I get up at 6 in the morning!!
Oh, I forgot to mention that I had major distractions during my plays...

Thanks for playing! With practice it can get only better over time. And we don´t always play chess960!
A suggestion: If you could add @badge-646464 as beneficiary to your chess posts, that would help the reward pool! I would appreciate that (by a higher upvote😃).
Thank you! I have a lot to learn but I will be there!
Reg the beneficiary, I will definitely do it! What percentage should I set?
Your creativity shines on Hive.
Let it race with us in BHR.
A special reward is in your wallet, waiting for you.
