Zzz...

This is bad. Won only 4/7 games. ahh... First time in history I have not won 5 or more. at least in secondary school. The onli other time i won only 4 was when i was P3 and P5 i think. 2 times b4 this and repeated this year again. And what's more, out of the 4 games i won, onli 1 (against Ernest) was a big challenge or at least a close game, the other 3 I won were rather expected cuz my the opponent was much less strong. that technically makes it onli 1 win out of 4 instead of the normal 2 wins out of 4 or sometimes even 3. sigh.

And to add to that, 2 of them that I lost were rather close, especially the third game. and the last game, I was leading and I threw my lead away in a manner too easy for my opponent. haix. The last game should have been a comfortable victory. I thought I made a good start to the game. actly i did, but my mid game was crap so ya.

haix. nvm. luckily, we still managed to achieve an overall 2nd, winning Dunman narrowly. (RI 5,4,4 : Dunman 5,4,3) lol. and congrats to the junior section too. Yiheng and Alan won themselves a trophy and so did Hong Bo in the open cat. Junior cat also won 2nd place and there were not really many close competitors in that one so ya. it's the first time in the history of RIweiqi that we achieved 2 2nds in qiuping. When I was in sec 1, it was open 2nd, junior 3rd. In sec 2, it was open 3rd, junior 2nd. So that can be viewed as an improvement but that is definitely not enough. I have seen an improvement in myself. Last time, I wouldnt have stood a chance at all against a HCI guy but this time at least I was really close in 1, losing out onli because of tie1 mu4 and i can really say that my opening is really beginning to take shape as seen in the last game. The thing now is to improve on my midgame, determining how best to win without the most risks which I failed to do in my last game.

k. no use crying over spilt milk now. just need to start improving. hope that next competition will be better. =)
