I Won 10 days ago a rapid tournament in Albacete, Spain. Im playing rapid tournaments all the weekends and for the moments im playing well earning money in all of them.Easy Start
The tournament doesn't count for fide rating so there were many noobs and for that reason in the first rounds i faced weaker players that in other rapid tournaments that i use to play

First Hard Game
After 3 easy games in the 4º round i faced a 2000 rating with the black pieces, i didn't understand so well the position for that reason i suffered a lot to take the point.

Only Setback of the day
With 4/4 the pairings started to be harder

Incredibly in 7 moves i was completely winning with all the black pieces without play and advantaje in the center, the queenside and the kingside, but first Nd6 mistake and later not understand that i should trade my bishop for his knight with Be5 leads me to a losing position. At least i saved half point to still in the fight for the tournament
Beating the Leader
After a draw i cannot allow more mistake and specially facing a guy who had more points than me, i needed the victory to be on the top.

Good game making the job and entering into the last round tied in first position with other 2 players but with better tiebreak
The Decisive Game
My opponent ofered me draw before the game but i camed to La Felipa to play and to Win

This was my favourite game of the tournament playing perfect from start to end without allowing counterplay.
The guy who draw with me won the other 6 games so we tied in the first position but i won the tournament by half point in the second tiebreak.
I enjoyed so much playing and in general i played good chess and i learned many thing anlyzing the games after, the first prize was a trophy and 100€ so third consecutive weekend that i earn money, lets see if i can continue this good streak in rapid tournaments the next weeks.
