One of the good games I have played

A good game which I have played with white and enjoyed the most, though I have missed the ending in between, I was able to manage with fierce attacks and ruined the enemy's army.Entering the enemy's camp and taking charge matters.

How often my child needs to attend tournaments ?

This is the frequent question I encounter whenever I meet a chess player's parent .  The answer is not simply one month , or every two months or a specified time period. The answer is again not a fixed time interval, it depends on the child's capability, development after the previous tournament, learning happened, emotional quotient, type of tournament- Rapid/ Blitz/ online/ Bullet/open etc. But to me the expectations of the parents doesn't always match with the outcomes of the children. The real fact is the gap do exist.
The thumb rule for attending a tournament is atleast one tournament every month. It is always good to consult your chess coach before you make them enroll. According to me "All tournaments do not enhance learning". We need dedicated practice, identify our weakness and work on it. Few tournaments could also  spoil our energy level and interest. 
My recommendation is to have a routine of practicing every day for a fixed time interval, learn puzzles, challenge a better player, read more books, focus on the openings, watch games of  GMs, etc. More importantly discuss the  progress with the coach.
Remember "Win or lose is not important ,but the learning is".
