The opponents Queen has been taken. A checkmate is coming. Two moves. One. "Checkmate" I say. I have just beaten the top-ranked player. "Good Game" We shake hands.
6 out of 7 games I have won. Tied with the leader Griffin McCann. But he had higher ranking so he won. :( But on the bright side were are going to Auckland (Jai, Miller, Konnah and I). It was great.
Wow! That is impressive. Great dedication and preparation has paid off. Well done Jack. Good luck with the trip to Auckland.

I love the way you have written this Jack! The way you have used short sentences really makes me feel the tension and action in your chess game. And wohoooo - beating the top-ranked player must have felt pretty amazing! :)
