After years of playing online, I decided to participate in an OTB chess tournament here in Quebec next weekend.
Since there is no chess club near where I live, I will have to drive 3 hours to get there and sleep in a hotel for 2 nights and dive straight into the action (no chess club first).
I'm really looking forward to this whole new experience.
My desire is to have fun to live this, more than winning or losing; however, I hope to play decently.
It will be real life in chess!
I'm curious to know how it went for you in your first OTB tournament.
