At the moment I have two upcoming standard chess tournaments, the Phitsanulok Chess Open in Phitsanulok, Thailand, and the Amsterdam Science Open, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Two chess tournaments; thousands of kilometers apart. These will be the last tournaments which I will play in before I start my university years! My goal in these tournaments is to just play quality chess, because that's what I've intended to do after realizing that playing for results and numbers is missing the true essence of the game - which is to enjoy it for all its infinite complexities. In total, by the end of my 'chess year' I would've played a total of 85 standard chess games! Nevertheless, the journey is far from over - and I will continue to play chess during my university years. The quest for International Master continues!
