Before you continue reading, please note that this is the second part in a series of posts, and the first post provides crucial information for this post. Now, this is a short day for me in the intramurals for reasons I will explain later, however this day is the most important day for ME in the whole of our intramurals. Note that this day may seem "boring" to the non chess player, however I will try to simplify the games as much as possible. Anyway, enough boring context! May the story begin! The major event during this day was the High School Chess Tournament, a tournament for the best high school chess players in the school... and me an elementary chess player, however this does NOT mean I was underestimated, in fact I was the "scariest" player there, I was famous(infamous) for being good at chess and criticizing others for making bad moves, and in the first round I had no opponents as there was an odd number of contestants and I was delegated to the sidelines, however this did not mean I was doing nothing, I was, First, explaining the rules to the contestants as my opponents had never played in a chess tournament before, and, Second, I was playing a friendly match with the elementary chess champion, Player K(I will be abbreviating contestants name for privacy reasons). In round 2 I was playing against Player T and I will summarize the game in a brief and quick manner. *clears throat* For the first 20 moves of the game both sides were equal neither side losing ground, however I, playing the black side seized control of the center leading a desperate charge to the enemy's territory, however, the opponent had underestimated the danger of the charge thinking "its just one pawn, right?". My opponent decided to counterattack on the left flank but it was already too late! I traded queens and pushed the pawn with VICTORY in my eyes! Player T tried to stop it but it was too late and my cavalry(knight) had taken control of the enemy's territory and it was over, I had made a queen and the black side had won! For the third round I had played against Player M, the best high school player in our school, and THIS was my fight against him. Unlike the second round this battle was violent from the beginning it was pretty standard for the first ten moves but my opponent would get double attacked (a "fork" in chess terms) and lost a pawn on the left flank of the board leaving it easy for my queen to infiltrate and a few moves later, once again was my opponent forked leaving him no choice but to sacrifice his knight, however this was NOT a one sided battle my opponent had become desperate and threw every. single. one. of his pieces against my king putting me under a lot of pressure. The clock was ticking it was my move and I was struggling trying to find any move that could defend. and.... my eyes lit up as I found a way to defend. The gavel was swung and the "judge" has made a decision. I have won the High School Chess Tournament! However, this was not the final chess match of the day I had one final match. The High School Champion VS the Elementary Champion. Who would win lets find out! In this match I did not take it seriously at first I thought that this was just a friendly game between Player K and I however I was proven wrong as a sense of motivation surged through me as " motivation" was given to me through the smell of JOLLIBEE, and so let me describe the match. The match started with me not going very serious so I had lost some pieces as I had overlooked certain moves, however as soon as the "motivation" was delivered I had gone serious. he had used his pair of rooks to control the movement of my army from a distance however I had done what I do best. CHARGE THROUGH THE CENTER. and this method proved successful as my pawns marched through the board and when JUST when I was about to queen my opponent had put his rooks in the middle trapping my king in an immovable cage realizing I had been doomed I pushed my pawns thinking I would lose. BUT, HE had.. SACRIFICED HIS ROOK THINKING IT WAS FORKED. And in this moment he lost.
