CAS Weekend Allegro - the aftermath

By GilaChess - January 26, 2006

My preparation for the weekend tournament last Sunday was a mess. Slept late, arrived late, and suffered terribly from lousy time management. Surprisingly I didn't do worse than the last allegro held at the same place. I finished a lucky 13th place - up one position from my last allegro. There were 3 games where I paid the price for bad time management. - Round 2 vs Kamaluddin Yusof (I had a winning position but had to draw because there was only 1 minute plus left) - Round 4 vs Rabani (eventual champion - in a totally even position everything went downhill in the mutual 2minutes time scramble) - Round 5 vs Low Jun Jian (winning middlegame but just couldn't convert to a winning endgame because I was left with 2 minutes - agreed to a draw) The next day (Monday), I was really tired and just stayed at home and slept. Didn't even update GilaChess.com with the allegro results as I usually do. Anyway I will post the results with full photos before this weekend. No Chess for 3 days but I'm back to my short 5-10 minute training with my coach - Mr IPaq the PDA.
