Utah Amateur Chess Championship – Round 1 – Kings Gambit Accepted

Here I analyze my own official USCF tournament game played at the Utah Amateur Chess Championship hosted at the University of Utah. Time controls were 60 minutes with 5 second delay. I played four of the five rounds of this tournament and took 19th of 44 in the U-1800 section, with 2 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw. I went into the tournament as an unrated player on this time control, and emerged with a 1688 USCF rating. I’m looking forward to playing many more tournaments, and hopefully I won’t make the same mistakes I made in this game.
