Dear President and the team of chess enthusiasts Thank you for giving me this opportunity to write a review on the game of chess that I have just concluded. I have began the game a bit differently probably just as usual without putting much thought into the outcome or let’s say without seeing the end from the beginning! But gradually took control of the game and the the opponent on the other hand kept on playing a very good game carefully making each moves! But as I believed and understood focusing on to the next level performance without losing my patience Cooley outplayed the opponent. With all the respect to the player on the other end I must say that probably lil more focus he could have overpowered my weaker strategies! Thanks again
