Bonner Go Tournament

Hei :)
So I'm back again from my journey to Bonn. I think I managed to success quite well, since i played 3-3 there :)
But from the start:
After 1 hour of traveling I reached the place. I was one of the first who ended up there.... I felt a bit lost there somehow <.<
But well, before the whole thing got started a 7k asked me to play a warm-up game which I lost after a fight on the left side..... old problem again: making unhealthy and weak groups all over the board and stuff  >.<
After that bad start the first round begun.
My first opponent was a 8k and again I had the same problem, though I played slower and more safer. A deep invasion brought me my defeat.... So my personal balance after a few hours: 0 - 2 :(
I really started thinking about my game and got insecure x_x
Next I played a 9k, where I managed to kill a deep invasion in my area. In the end I had a nice area on the right side + about 15 dead stones. My first win was complete. I enjoyed that game, though it was hard after he invaded.
My last game for that day I played a 7k. That was a relaxing game, my opponent didn't interrupt me playing a nice area on the top, which was about 50 points worth. Though later I got some problems with another group which I had to rescue.
2-1 for the first day, not bad. :)
The evening was great, I got in touch with new people and it was really funny. Though first the organizer forgot to find a place for me to sleep :(  But I found a place to sleep: a student told me that I could come with him. :)

On the next day I was tired but with high ambitions. My goal was to get a 4-2 for a book :)
I got a little shock after I saw my first opponent: a 6k and I had to take white Oo
That was the hardest game for me, but somewhat I succeeded in winning that one, though I though the whole game I was behind.... ._.  Lucky me, I got 6 points komi and I won by approximately 5 points :>
3-1 and I was feeling great. But the next shock awaited me: The 7k guy with whom I had been playing the warm-up game was my next opponent.
I tried to play calmly, not so insecure like on the day before. But still I lost to him, with about 10 points. But we had a nice fight, where I made some mistakes with ko's and stuff.
Still with high spirits I waited for my next opponent and I got a 9k. Somewhat I wasn't concentrated I made big mistakes there....and stupid mistakes, like I could hit myself x_x
I lost that one....... so no Book for me :'(

But all in all the whole tournament was a full win, especially cause I got in touch with new people who love Go as much as I do. I really enjoyed the time in between the games. :)
Now I want to play more tournaments, for i hope that they are as great as Bonn. Maybe Recklinghausen will be my  next stop on the go map^^
