On this day, 29 years ago...

... I played my first tournament game. It was a league game, I was a teen and the motto was:

Sturm und Drang!



(23.10.1988, Sarg0n with the white pieces)
Not often that people win their first ever tournament game. Mine was against someone who outrated me by 400 points :P
Thank you!

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand.
Congrats! Very nice game. Strong attack! I never thought I'd play in a tournament, especially after a decade of plateau...but with some changes in medication...it's looking like I'm starting to play like I did a few decades ago.
Congrats, nice game..What was your first rating?
Not sure, because there were different rating systems. Let‘s say about 1700.

(in former times int. Elo was limited >= 2200. I started later when it was opened >= 2000 with about 2100 Elo, ten years after my beginning)
