Perth and Kinross Chess Festival
Primary Section
On
Sunday 28th January 2007 I went to a chess tournament in the
Station Hotel, Perth. As it was my first tournament I didn’t
really know what to do.
I
went over to Mrs. Officer who ticked me off on the register. When someone puts the playing list on the
wall you have to look at your name and figure out if you are playing white or
black. The list also tells you what
board you are playing at.
I
did not know anybody I was playing against but they were all very
friendly. Most of the children were
about my age. I was a little bit
nervous when I played my first game. I
had to keep watching the clock and stop it each time I made a move. After we played we had a break until the
next list was put up. We had our lunch
after the 4th game. There were
8 games altogether and by the time we went home we were tired and hungry.
As
it was my first tournament I had not expected to do very well but I was
pleased to get two draws. I was given
a certificate which said “This is to certify that Rebecca Brown took part in the
Perth and
Kinross Chess Festival.”
I
had lots of fun, so I would like to go to another tournament. Next time I would like to win more points.
