With the Hivechess season over, I think it's a good time to evaluate my performance. I've had to cut short a few times due to work and the schedule isn't very favorable. I'm not complaining, and I know there are players from all over the world, and that's what makes it truly interesting.
I've selected some of my best games from this season for this post. I may have to write a second part, but in the meantime, I'll share some of my thoughts on these games.
In the first tournament, I had to play one of my best games. I always stood out in the arenas they created, and I think this was where I had my best moments, like beating the champion and the man who many believe to be the best player on the entire team.
The best thing is that I played with such ease that I It was lacking in the other tournaments, a very good opening followed by an excellent middlegame and an endgame with some errors but which I was ultimately able to turn into a victory.
One of my best games this season without a doubt, but there are still some I remember fondly.
The clock also played a significant role in many of these games. Several of my opponents, and even I, often erred by letting the minutes run too long or using Berserk too much to double my points.
In this game, I was very pressed for time and was still able to devise a plan in a very high-pressure position. My opponent was on top of me most of the time, trying to break my position. But with great calm, I knew how to stabilize and then apply enough pressure to force him to make a mistake and punish him.
There's a beauty in games where the opening goes quite well and the middlegame enters into swampy terrain where there are many pieces and it's possible to coordinate them all to launch an attack, like in this game, where I even dared to sacrifice the queen with a checkmate idea that I'm very proud of.
These are my best games of all the ones I played this hivechess season. I might write a sequel to this post if I find some other games worth mentioning.
Nice games, seems like in two first games knight did important moves
