Qualifying round in Dnipro, 2011.

The final standings are not yet available, as I haven't finished my games with Forrest and Volodymyr. Both matches are interesting and neither player has a clear advantage, so we decided to finish them online soon. After that, we'll have the final ranking for the top of the table. Their outcome won't significantly affect the final positions of the top three, so we decided not to stay up all night at the club, but rather to chat in a fun company.
What did you mean, Kep, about my games in Kyiv? I didn't quite understand. Maybe you could elaborate on what happened. If you're referring to the "long" games, keep in mind that I'm not playing against myself; there's an opponent on the other side.

Overall, the tournament was a success. Thank you all for participating and for the great time. The atmosphere was very pleasant and friendly, and all the participants were wonderful and interesting people.

To be honest, due to the constant problems I'm dealing with in real life, I can't find the time to write a more detailed report right now. It will be later, after I finish my matches. For now, I'm posting photos of the participants; the CIS community should know the heroes of Ukraine:)

KostyaN, Medium, Forrest, Rebellious, Volodymyr, Psyche_7, Piterius, Javdet.
