Since childhood I liked to play chess but almost never had taken very seriously. Now that I've retired from football due to injury, I decided to spend a little more time to chess and then I went to a club that exists here in Sherbrooke and running on Friday night in the library facilities. Every week we play small tournaments species with different times. Sometimes he plays fast games (Blitz) where each player has only 5 minutes to think, or semirápidas (15 minutes per player), Semilente (25 minutes per player), slow (1.5 hours per player), etc. Depending on the mode of night, more or less games played using the Swiss system and the final classification is known of everyone in this minicampeonato.
The truth is that people are very friendly and I had a great time at the club.
But really what I want to say is that last weekend the club hosted the winter championship chess, the 5 rounds Swiss system. The time spent was an hour and a half per player for the first 30 moves and an additional hour to reach checkmate. So every game could last up to 5 hours. I was not quite decided to participate, because I really hardly competed in chess. In Colombia you ever participated in the championship city of Armenia and once in the department of Quindio, with results quite modest. However, in the end I decided and I got an honorable second place with 4 wins and a lost game (4 / 5), against opponents who have relatively good ranking. In addition to a prize of $ 96, I had the satisfaction of having played a good game.
