Congrats!

Seems like the honest self-assessment and training changes you mentioned earlier paid off then. That's an inspiration to all of us here trying to improve in chess as adults.

I just arrived home from my latest weekend tournament; after years of sweat, anxiety, tribulations, mistakes, staying home instead of going out with friends, travelling, etc., I've finally done it!  I'll get the National Master title from the USCF when the next rating supplement is published.

I'm a Master!!  Strange.  Now I'm going to bed...
