Peter will be offline from November 4th to 6th.

Thank you all for the wonderful time and the very warm welcome. Special thanks to Lyokha for hosting me, treating me to two nights, and showing me around St. Petersburg. Misha, the lucky hat has already proven useful; I'll wear it for all my exams. It's a shame I didn't succeed in the tournament, but my opponent was strong. Once again, thank you all for the great event, and respect to Roman for the organization. I hope we all see each other again in a year, in an even larger group!

P.S. I'm still dreaming about Tamerlane's barbecue.
