I attended my first international showdown tournament. I was very nervous and unfortunately that showed in the games. During the first group phase I lost all my matches and was put in the last group S. The 2nd day I had no games because of this. So I went shopping with my girlfriend in Bologna 😇 On the 3rd day I had 4 games and won all but the last one. My final result is 49 out of 52 men. It’s ok. Many thanks to Nicole for coaching me sometimes and now I know what to train for. My next tournament will be in November in Zurich.
