My experience at Brentwood Chess Tournament was flawless. I enjoyed it a lot. It was of outstanding quality, and my dad liked it as well. If I were to rate this tournament, I would give it a fabulous five stars, as the organisation was outstanding. It was enjoyable playing chess with some smart kids like me :-)
My dad and mum were very proud of me as I won a prize – a book. My favourite part was winning 4 out of 6 games. Though I lost in the other two, I analysed them at home to learn whether my moves were good or bad. This tournament had motivated me to attend the next one and all the upcoming ones. I hope I will come up stronger.
