In the video attached to this post, I took a look at my tournament play and briefly at some games that helped me.
On a day were it looks like everyone was playing badly and the big boys were asleep, Samostically won the arena!
@sawko , who has won both round one and round two finished 5th today, I guess the time control played a huge role in that happening. Thank you Host!
Hi @tungphong , Is samo still sleeping? I guess not. Honestly, if I didn't see 23.Qxh6, I should have lost to @jaki01 very quickly or if @tony1294 didn't gift me that early win, I could have been very far too.
Interestingly I dropped a full queen against @anomadsoul ! Maybe I had compensation, however, I still got very lucky there.
I took a look at some of those games and it was interesting to see how i luckily climbed the ladder.
@Lichess, when would i finally get to play @vjap55 ? We've not been paired in any tournament this year! He has been playing some good chess, he finished 3rd today.
@cocacolaron has been excellent and consistent, he has an interesting style of play and he is capable of beating anyone. Today, he came 2nd and could have beaten me at the last game. however, we settled for draw as the tournament clock was ticking down.
Thanks for your Attention!

It was 3 + 2, which I really like ... Enough time to build a good position and convert the advantage.
P. S.: check for example my two wins against @tony1294. I had good positions but as always less time. Had it been 3 + 0 I had lost both games with a rather high probability.
Yay!! @samostically you won in the long run! Congratulations to you, man! More wins on the way!!🙌
Thank you man... take care!
Congratulations on being number one boss
