Above is a link to the 2011 Czech Open European Amateurs event.
Most of you will know that I am a decent major/poor challengers level player. However, I managed to pull off a bit of a brammer of a result (for me) here.
Did I cheat? No.
Did I play well all tournament plus carry some fair slices of luck (good and bad) ? Yes.
Did I see it coming or study in depth for weeks? No.
Did I use any artificial stimulants? Yes..three pints of Czech beer before every game.
I just simply wished to give an example that unusual results at good events are possible if you are in the right frame of mind, relaxed and enjoying yourself.
