Not long ago, I was evaluating my performance so far in life. I'm a competitive person, but I usually have sense enough to compete against myself by topping past goals and checking off to-do lists.

2015 Iowa Class Championships
Monday, April 6, 2015
The Iowa Class Championships were held on March 21st in conjunction with the state championship event, the Iowa Closed, at the Physicians' Clinic in Cedar Rapids. This year I played in Class B (U1800). Papa and Daniel played in Class C (U1600), and my youngest sister played in Class D (U1400).
Before the first round, I played a blitz game with my sister, and then two other (awesome) participants agreed to join us for a few games of bughouse. Soon pairings were posted. The time control was 75 minutes per player with a 5 second delay per move. My first opponent was Nathan Chen (1444).
