About me - Introduction

My name is My Linh Tran, I live in Hamburg, Germany and I was born 1995. Years ago I had a blog (www.mlt-chess.blogspot.com) about my chess adventures. But after two years I stopped. Now I have much more time again and I would like to introduce you to my world - not only to my chess world but also to all the other stuffs I do (e.g. Poetry Slam) - That's why I chose the title "My Linh Adventures". (Some of my friends only call me Linh, one of my favorite nicknames is lingling)

That's crazy!

It's crazy that I was short of time the last weeks. I was really surprised how much a person can work!!! Well, it's just another post to apologize my absence. :-)

My next performance will be on 7th Nov in Bramfeld, Hamburg at the Digger Slam!
As always I'm looking forward to this event. Especially because the location is the "Bramfelder Kulturladen e.V." - I did my voluntary year in culture last year there.

Stellwerk Slam Harburg

On Thursday I had a performance in Harburg at the "Stellwerk Slam" (Facebook Link). I thought it was the first Stellwerk Slam, but it already was the second one. Unfortunately, the location "Stellwerk" will be closed in the end of the year. So the "Stellwerk Slam era" will end with the shutdown. :-(
Also this Slam hadn't many audience member. So I was a bit sad about it, but never mind. I'm always afraid of to be the first one to perform. At the beginning the host draws by lot the order. I got the first starting place. Worse luck! I've to say, I hadn't a good preperation for this performance. So I was very upset about this starting place... Anyhow, I wasn't content with my performance and effort. The next time I will do it better!!!
By the way: Falco, a guy I know from chess, was there, too! He's from Ulm (far away from Hamburg) and coincidentally he was in Hamburg at that time. I didn't believe that he will come to this event. But yeah, he was there. Thanks!!!

On 7th Nov. I will perform in Bramfeld at the Digger Slam! I'm really looking forward to this event because last year I did a voluntary year in culture in Bramfeld. So I've "home fixture" - haha. No, but I really like it to be there. My workmates are glad to see me at the stage!

Afterwards...

Finally, I've time to post some articles. As you know, I played the German Team Championship in Hannover. I wanted to show you some pictures of the tournament. Here we go!

Team Hessen 1 & Hessen 2 + Coaches and organizer :-)

It was a very nice tournament, but we are also happy that it's over now. :D

Team Hessen 1 (near-complete haha) at the award ceremony

Hessen 1 - Niedersachsen 1

Although Hessen 2 was lucky and took a better place than Hessen 1, we beat them in the first round clearly with 6-2! :-) (I could win, too :p)
Hessen 2 - Hessen 1

On Monday we were on a trip. The zoo in
Hannover was awesome!  I love elephants. :-) But my favourite animal is the panda. <3


That's me in the zoo in Hannover :-)
Here you can read on the hessian website a detailed report about the German Team Championship.

German Team Championship 2014

Until Tuesday I played the German Team Championship in Hannover, Germany. I live in Hamburg but I still play in Roßdorf in my hometown club in Hessen. So fortunaetly I could play in a strong team (Team Hessen 1). I only reached 2,5 points out of 7 rounds. But I had equivalents and strong opponents, so I think it's okay. Out team had the start ranking 7 and unfortunaetly took annoyingly only the 9th place. German Team Champion is Baden 1, congratulation. They won all games except the game against us. We beat them 6-2! Too crazy...

Pictures are coming soon... I've to do a quick post right now because I feel bad that I didn't post anything the last week. I'll have my performance in Harburg, Hamburg in a few hours. Cross your fingers! :-)
