My first ever tournament and that too FIDE rated. It was an interesting experience playing against players across age group. With a Time Control of 10 minutes + 5 seconds, it was a tough tournament to begin with. 

I played this solely to gather some experience. Out of the 9 rounds that I played, I had won 1 game, drawn 1 game and lost the remaining. There were a few close encounters, which I felt I could have won but nevertheless, I have come out stronger than before.
