My First Chess Tournament

On March 8 2008, I went to the PA State Scholastic K-3 open chess tournament in Carlisle. This was my first chess tournament! Out of five games, I lost three and won two. I got my official USCF rating now, which is 230! I think I can do better next time. But if you want to win, you have to practice. Tons of people came to the tournament. My brother played in K-6 open session. He won the 7th place throphy. I made a friend. She is very nice. My family planned to stayed in the very same hotel as the tournament, but the rooms were flooded because of the heavy rain. So we had to go to the Holiday Inn next door. Holiday Inn wasn't bad. The bed were so comfy and the pillows were so soft and cuddly. We had a great time at Carlisle.
