@TheBigAlt I have seen your games and think you played quite well overall, and userunknow did too. The match was close and well fought and I hope you both enjoyed it! By the way I think userunkow is an underrated player and gets stronger with blitz time controls (compared to bullet), so losing to him is perfectly fine.
I also understand you feelings about pressure, I also feel a lot of pressure when I know the result of the game actually matters and it's very easy to miss an "easy" move cause of overthinking. This said I really hope you guys are having fun playing despite the pressure and eventual losses... remember there will always be a next tournament where to come back ;)

I played with userunknow a lot when he was about 1900, and yes, now he really improved. At first I was like "well, Supwitches is much better than me, and he had 5.5 - 4.5 vs userunknow so if I lose it won't be a big tragedy". However, then I saw that I could easily have those exactly 5.5 points too, but I hadn't been thinking properly during the match.
Anyway, the championship was a good experience and it gave emotions and some new combinations but I even don't know to participate or not participate next year. Ordinary arenas don't have this pressure and nothing happens even if you lose six games in a row.

Hey, it's me, TheBigAlt. I hope nobody will think that I lost cause I was bat. It's not about chess, it's about psychology cause I was too emotional. I am a woman, it happens. I posted links where I saw obvious winning moves too late. @the-lone-wolf I played with userunknow a lot when he was about 1900, and yes, now he really improved.

Sorry, it's not about this championship but I really need to ask for this.
@ProgramFOX
I'm trying to play atomic in lobby, and I'm a noob so I wanna choose lowraters BUT it's not funny when people with provisional (1500?) rating join my games cause most of them even don't know the rules. Is it possible to add an option which deletes (1500?) opponents in "rating range" if a player doesn't want them to join the games? Ofc I can just cancel games but it's not nice.

That's not possible, no.

Ok, thanks. But it would be very nice.
