PA State Scholastic Championships

I did OK in the PA State Scholastic Championships held in Carlisle over the weekend. I played in the K-6 open section. The first two games are pretty easy to me. I was in a very good position in the third game. However I did not recognize that and accepted a draw offer from my opponent. The fourth round I played poorly. My opponent was in trouble in the opening. But she played well. I was in a hopeless position. However, I gambled on one move and she did not recognize that and missed mate. I luckily won the fourth round. The last round I did not do well at the beginning in a French opening. However, I turned the situation around. I was in a winning position for the King Pawns end game. But I made a mistake and lost the game. In this tournament I won the game that I should not win and lost the game I should not lose. I guess this is the chess. In the end I won a 7th place throphy and my club MYCC won the second place club trophy.
