At what point should I forfeit in a chess tournament?

I am proud of how our "traveling team" did overall in their games last week. We also had a GREAT practice this Monday. Writing down moves is CRITICAL TO IMPROVEMENT. After each game, be sure to analyze it using the moves you wrote down.

Also, NEVER FORFEIT in a tournament (or in practice, for that matter). As long as you are playing you are giving your opponent the opportunity to blunder! But...if you forfeit, YOU LOSE. Period.

Here is a reminder on the when and the wheres for the rest of the season:

Match 3 and 4: From 4:45p to 7:00p on Wed. 11/4 at St. Christopher,

Match 5 and 6: From 4:45p to 7:00p on Wed. 11/11 at Christ the King,

Post-season tournament: From 9am - 2pm on Sat. 11/14 at the CYO Office Gym (Holy Rosary)
