I played my first classical tournament spread over 2 days and 6 rounds of 30+30. For reference i am an 1800 chess com rapid players (10+0). i scored 2.5/6 points. I play so much better than I did in this classical format? I blundered more than I would in rapid and that is crazy. I missed basic tactical shots from my opponent’s side which I’d see in a second. I have played like a 150 otb games the past year all being rapid (mostly 10+5). The players in the tournament were all under fide 1800. I lost winning positions and one move blunders which I never usually do.
Game 1: 1 move blunder (hung fork on move 12???)
Game 2: won
Game 3: 1 move blunder ( 3 pawns up and blundered queen with discovery wtf)
Game 4: drawn but was a piece up then opponent found perpetual in endgame
Game 5: got knight trapped and lost a piec (Even when I got my knight trapped position was +2.2 for white w pawn up like before I got it trapped)
Game 6: won
