First offline tournament experience

Like most of us I, too, started playing chess in the lockdown. Decided to give offline tournament a shot. Here's my experience: 1. Offline and online chess games are quite different, especially if you don't have prior experience. 2. You'll probably miss moves due to poor board vision which, in turn, will make for inaccurate calculations. 3. Time pressure is real. You may play 60 moves in a 1 min bullet match online, but 1 min in offline setting is like peanuts. 4. Knocking pieces over, forgetting about pressing the clock, illegal move or conduct, are as real as a checkmate because any of it may lead to a loss. 5. Dirty tricks and nuisance are not unheard of. Perseverance and resilience are another common traits you'll find in folks (which is contagious). 6. Offline is wayyy more exhilarating and nerve wrecking. You also get a live audience, making weird facial expressions (lol). 7. It's fun! About me- I'm a 1600 chess.com on a good day.
