โ€œThe event was more serious than I thought. I saw some friends there, and many of the players were followed by their coaches. I was happy to have Sgt. Farias by my side, even though he didn't play chess. The kids from the private schools had chess clubs and coaches, while it was only me and the internet. Looking back now, I see this allowed me to play under no pressure, as I had nothing to prove. There were twelve players, so I'd be happy to take at least 6th place.โ€

โ€œI cried afterwards, I was so happy! A kid who never traveled more than 200 km suddenly was about to cross the whole country! It was so hard to believe. Sgt. Farias was so happy, and he even told me his heart almost stopped when I hesitated to take the draw!โ€
