Exceptionally nice result in the USCF Online rated chess.com 3+2 blitz tournament
Before the tournament I said that I was going to "bring it." I felt like I could do well.
I started the tournament at chess.com rating 1800 and finished with a rating of 1848.
In Round 2 I had a nice victory against our friend Mohamed, who used to come to the Greenwood Chess Club.

In round 6 I had a draw against my old friend Kingsbishop. I have played him many times on both chess.com and ICC USCF Online rated tournaments. Usually I do well against him, so I might have missed something.
