Our weekly chess tournament was played once again today with the variant chess960. The rules are the same as in the normal chess, only the lineup of the pieces at the beginning is mixed. I lost almost 100 points this time and had my worst tournament since I can remember. What was going on to me is a mystery, probably because of the heat and the unfamiliar humidity here in Bavaria. Anyway, I was totally unfocused and so I can not upload the video, it's just too bad. Let's have a new one next week! Here is the result:
Unser wöchentliches Schachturnier wurde heute wieder einmal mit der Variante Schach960 gespielt. Die Regeln sind die gleichen wie im normalen Schach, nur die Aufstellung der Figuren am Beginn ist bunt gemischt. Ich konnte diesmal fast 100 Wertungspunkte verlieren und hatte damit mein schlechtestes Turnier seit ich mich erinnern kann. Woran es gelegen hat ist mir ein Rätsel, wohl an der Hitze und an der ungewohnten Luftfeuchtigkeit hier in Bayern. Ich war jedenfalls total unkonzentriert und somit kann ich auch das Video nicht hochladen, es ist einfach zu schlecht. Auf ein Neues in der nächsten Woche! Hier ist das Resultat:
