Not a bad first night. Couldn't quite eat throughout yesterday, but cereals came to the rescue. Tournament starts in a few hours, and honestly, I don't even feel like leaving my room to play. First classical tournament and I'm already looking for an excuse to stay in bed. 💀
Two days to the South West Zonal Chess Championship. 130 registered participants. I'm returning to Osun State for the second time in less than a week. Last time, I led my team to the West African University Games title. This time, it's personal. My first classical outing

Safe to say I'm playing SW on vibes. No prep 😭 Missed a chunk of my postings for WAUG, and academically, I'm in danger. Good thing I was away on university duties, so I'm not too worried. Now I'm playing the South West during what is supposedly meant to be 'a free week'
Day 3 of final year of med school. We resumed earlier this week, and apparently, the five-week break I thought we had was a complete illusion. Clinical activities are draining, so chess training is on pause till further notice.

Either way, I'm confident I'll play decent chess. Chess is never comfortable. Might revisit some old lines for this event: the English, the Ruy Lopez, openings I haven't played in years. Time to brush up before D-Day. Longer time controls are a test of your preparation mostly

1/2 I have a 5-week holiday from med school and have already used 1 week. I’ve been working on chess with Unilorin Chess Team over the past few days. Took a course on positional play and started one on calculation. I feel pretty rusty though. Been playing way too much blitz.

Event was a funny experience. Logistics and organization was awful. Glad the team claimed the title, that's the whole point of coming for the event. Ilorin boys no small for this chess thing!!!

Thanking God, the giver of intellect, for a successful tournament. 🙏🏾 Tied 3rd at the Abuja Monthly, losing just one game in a strong field, including a Nigerian Olympian who won unbeaten. Round 6 was my favourite. Now, 2200+ is the goal. ✌️

The past week has probably been the most serious I’ve ever been with chess. I genuinely feel unbeatable right now. Do all chess players feel this way when they’re training seriously, or is it just me? 😂 A tactical idea I saw in a course somehow happened in my game hours later.

Still, I will play Chess Heights Osun this weekend. Southwest later this month. Don't expect much. As typical when I play mid postings

It was an honour to play the game I love for the national team at the Olympiad in Samarkand. Good fights. Story continues. Photo by @Othims_

A few days ago, I didn’t even feel like playing chess. Now I feel like it’s the greatest game ever. That’s why consistency matters. Even when I’m not motivated, I still do the work. Motivation comes and goes. Consistency compounds

Day one! 8+ hours of chess on Lichess in the Classical Shield Arena. Started strong. By the end, I was seeing double 😂 Goal was top 10, so no sitting back — I had to play a good chunk of the event since I don't really berserk. Nice warm-up. The adrenaline is definitely back.

I have a few tournaments planned, so it’s time to lock in: • John Ortega Rapid this Saturday • West African University Games • Southwest Chess Championship Honesly, I have been feeling less confident about my play lately. Not sure why, but I might opt out of events

I killed the chess player in me after Chess on Board(COB) tourney. Now it’s time to reawaken him for SW and the West African University Games. With an NFOC event and the next COB also coming up, that’s four weeks of preparation for my next national tournaments. Should be fun.
