The Return of Sir Augusto

Hail Knights! I'm back.

That tournament was a truly heart-braker but i'm fine now.
My pc broke down and I lost everything, I also didn't follow the routine like it have to be so i'm starting the whole circles again. (I was on the levels 40 exercises of circle 1 in 3 months!)

I'll also follow some advices from the Novice Nook Collunm on www.chesscafe.com (Thanks Nemo), reativate my account on Chess.com, try to get a higher rating ;) *1600+, study the french defense, transpositions and the scotch gambit in the openings for white explained, i don't know yet where to study the french, but i'll find something nice! ;)

My girlfriend and family are giving me total compreension! That's very nice and helpfull! ;)

I'm now a Student of the Federal University, learning history! And that was hiring all my time! I have to read text on spanish, and i don't know how to read in spanish lol!

Festival Mineiro da Juventude Pensado

I went to this tournament and I was horrible!

In the first round I played the FM Arthur Gontijo and Lost, he's only 10 years old... Then I won with black, he sacrificed his bishop wrong. In the third round I lost to the tournament champion with white, on a gambit that I played for the first time on life lol, very tactical game on the end. In the next day I lost both games, I blundered my queen in style, but he had a hard work to win ;), and in the last round I wasn't very excited about chess, thinking about quit and lost a normal game. That's it! I was the 8 of 10 with 1 of 5! you can see here http://www.fmx.org.br/sub%2018%20abs.htm
