January Mutlisession Chess Tournament Part 3/4

This week, the local chess club gave awards for the previous month's tournament.  I received a total of $20 for the upset prize (beating an opponent rated higher than I) and for winning the reserve section.  I was paired with a player rated 1553 (about 200 over my rating).  He started the game with an eccentric opening, 1. f4.  I wasn't able to exploit any positional weaknesses, and the game continued normally.  There were some trades in the middlegame, wrecking my pawn structure and leaving each of us with two rooks each.  I made him decide from losing a pawn or trading a set of rooks.  He traded, and I got my rook into the center.  I couldn't really do anything useful because of my doubled pawns.  We repeated the same position three times, making the result a draw.  After the game, we looked at the end, made a few moves, and determined the result to be a draw anyway due to a locked position.
