My Chess Journey:

In my 9th blog, My Chess Journey: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, I take you through the twists and turns of my chess experience. From early victories to the tough losses, it’s been quite the ride! 🎢

The Bad: I almost had a win in the bag... but one wrong move, and it all slipped away. That feeling when victory is just out of reach. 😬

The Ugly: A game where everything went wrong and one of those humbling moments that taught me resilience and the importance of learning from every setback. 💥

But the best part? The journey. Every blunder and triumph has shaped how I play today.
