I Played a National Master In My FIRST Tournament...

[@iwantcheckmate]

Rating Change: ~1860 -> ~1880 for those wondering! Also this was an in-person, over-the-board tourney. Quite happy with it! Like and subscribe! :)

[@OvejaGD]

Good job Tony

[@abdulrazakbendjema9778]

Keep the game review stickers

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[@ChessGeneralOfWar]

Yeah I like them too

[@TheOnlyRealGoose]

Great game against the national master, especially considering the rating difference!🎉

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you!

[@DecoyBrawl]

@@iwantcheckmate time to find who the NM is

[@gamblerofrats]

Looks like you'll be NM in no time with that level of play

[@iwantcheckmate]

I hope so!

[@Drew-it7or]

Martin has been training you for this

[@realkandy]

I always knew you are Tony

[@ditylwan1633]

Love the way you analyze games, it feels like a fresh way to keep up

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the analysis :)

[@dinggbatt9770]

[@lennyuniverse]

Great tourney!

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks!

[@Arandomdud_e]

yoo lets go, keep going!!

[@TexanSC]

This video boutta be a banger
Idea: playing against Magnus but you alternate moves with Stockfish.

[@ChessGeneralOfWar]

That’s a Gotham video but that would be cool to see

[@mortisback-s9n]

wow superb

[@rahulbansal2]

Nice man good stuff
Need more martins in the video though

[@LuminousXDMC]

This game made me very happy (also new Lore about your name)

[@dusheyo6769]

Real question is what would evil Martin play in your situation and if your opponents would beat Martin with 25 queens. Martin aside, I am glad you did well against such a high rated opponents, I had so many problems seeing all that

[@iwantcheckmate]

Haha the real question is if Martin can coach me all the way to NM. Glad you enjoyed!

[@Hollands2511]

So here for this!

[@yussefcheaitou]

I'd rather have the stickers and no eval bar than only the bar

[@AbrarRather1]

National master soon 🎉🎉 keep going.

[@ruxshona-c7o]

That's really cool, good job 👍

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you!

[@pompompurin_1989]

Nice job Tony! Maybe you should get 1 of the game reviews, make those moves, and see what Martin does

[@enderionthesecond]

tony gonna get natural mother soon (jokes aside, good luck on your journey! hope you get national the master rank!)

[@iwantcheckmate]

The Noob Martin title is coming my way for sure (and thanks!)

[@Kenjitsuka]

Definitely keep the stickers!!!

[@yp_biggie]

Let's go, I clicked so fast!

[@Samdangluy]

The game sticker is great! Dont remove it btw nice match

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@Happy_Abe]

Was this an online tournament or were you playing on the board?

[@iwantcheckmate]

This was an over the board tournament.

[@Happy_Abe]

@ adds a different level of difficulty. Love the tournament reviews!

[@Catlord98765]

I live in a small town up north, I wish I could play in person

[@austinjennings7798]

Is it possible you can show the time?

[@iwantcheckmate]

This is a great point. I am considering notating my time in tourneys so I can edit over after approximately how much time each move took. I know some other players that do it to work on thinking more and spending more time each move. Thanks for the input

[@inuyasha1102nick]

I don't play tournament play. Can you explain what you mean by a 5 second delay?

[@Jacek-lk2ts]

I think it's just a bonus time. Not sure tho

[@iwantcheckmate]

Good question! For each move, before our timer starts to tick down, we get a 5 second delay to write down our moves. Pretty sure it was Bobby Fischer's idea, so that notating wouldn't eat into your time to think :)

[@enricocasin]

Do you think playing so many odds games against strong bots made your chess better?

[@iwantcheckmate]

Probably not concretely, but it’s been a good way to get back into the sport and make it fun :)

[@pa.paranoia]

Tony is such a cool name bro 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥

[@iwantcheckmate]

I appreciate it LOL

[@misanovak4280]

How much time did you have for all moves?

[@iwantcheckmate]

Game 70+5

[@MayankSinghChandel1]

How old are you?

[@iwantcheckmate]

I am 20

[@Satou_Kazuma-sx8ch]

I hope you gain NM title quicker
