This was my first league match of 2025, after the Halloween debut. I did say results would get better, because I managed to win my game against T. Chazelle. I was the only one to win my game, since the team lost 1.5-2.5 back then. Game (I PLAYED WHITE): 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Ne7 4. Nf3 Bd7 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxd5 exd5 7. Bd3 c5 8. dxc5 Bxc5 9.

One Halloween night, I made my debut in the league side of chess. Each game is 75 minutes with 10 seconds increment for every move made. Of course, I was nervous seeing as though this was my first time. It wasn't a debut to remember, sadly, as I lost to S. Norman. Here's the moves (I PLAYED WHITE IN THIS GAME): 1. e4, c6 2. d4, d5 3. e5, Bf5 4. Bd3, Bxd3 5. Qxd3, e6 6. Nf3, Qc7 7. O-O, Nd7 8. c3, O-O-O 9. Nbd2, h5 10. h4, Be7 11. c4, g5 12. Nxg5, Bxg5 13. hxg5, Ne7 14. Nf3, h4 15. cxd5, Nxd5 16. g6, fxg6 17. Qxg6, Rdg8 18. Qxe6, Rg7 19. Qh3, Kb8 20. Ng5, Nf8 21. f4, Qb6 22. Be3, Nxe3 23. Qxe3, h3 24. Nxh3, Qxb2 25. Ng5, Rg6 26. Qf2, Qa3 27. Qf3, Qb4 28. d5, Rgh6 29. dxc6, Qd4+ After the check, I saw the forced checkmate and reluctantly resigned the position. Wasn't the best debut I was looking for, but there's better positions to come!
