Noob's Marathon run

ChessTournamentAnalysisTacticsOpening
Looking at some of my games from Marathon and how it went!

Marathon hell nah I'm not playing this!

That was my reaction when I saw Liches's annocumenent about the 24-hour marathon, I wasn't interested in playing or even caring much about it until I saw IM EricRosen stream the event, that got me some motivation to try to play the event and maybe catch Eric Rosen in a game or two, or somehow get time odds against him, but meh that didn't happen sadly, overall I spend about 7 hours into it (I didn't count it with my fingers because I have a normal human hand) but could be less or more I don't know, so below is some cool stats and games from the marathon.

Stats of failure :P

My Blitz rating graph: yea it went down but we take those for the fun!


My Performance in the Marathon (ok not that bad)


My final finish on the leaderboard

I did take 766 the fact I didn't put in the time and just had fun :D

Conclusion

Thats it! I'm just happy I was able to finish the top 800 and score some cool wins against stronger players, and if I had played more I could have gotten the trophy, I will compare this result with the next marathon results

till then have a great day!

Cheers guys
Noob
