Arlo Gilbert’s Reaction During the Game of My Life

When, I played last Saturday in a chess tournament in our place I brought with me John Arlo Gilbert and luckily I did not embarrassed him during the said chess games. He watched me with great enthusiasm and hope to win the said chess tournament which I did not expect to win. I got 4.5 points on the tournament out of 5 rounds swiss system tournament. Arlo Gilbert even give me a word of inspiration after the draw I’ve got on the 2nd to the last round.

You will see in Arlo Gilbert’s eyes when I won the last round which is considered to be the ultimate round of the tournament. It’s the ultimate round because that’s the round that if whoever wins will be the champion. On the said championship, my opponent playing as black uses Sicilian Defense and castles his King on the late part of the game while I castle my king on the opposite with which triggers attack for him. The characteristic of my opponent is young and an aggressive attacker like Arlo Gilbert when he plays chess with me. Luckily, at the end maybe due to time pressure, an enprise rook which he forgot decided the game and later that afternoon I was announced as the champion of the tournament.

Arlo Gilbert, thank you for the support and may you be there on the next tournament.
