...it might turn into a bloodbath, just like in neighboring Libya.
Libya and Egypt are similar to Chechnya and the rest of Russia in terms of their warlike nature.

Regarding the out-of-town resort. Yes, there is one. But I already have agreements with a club and a TV channel.
Traveling 15 kilometers in the morning and then back at night is too much. And the atmosphere, lying on the beds, won't be conducive to a tournament.
I'm aiming for the same gaming atmosphere that Alan Prosta had in Krasnodar, and I'm organizing it in a similar way.
Alan Prosta (in 2003) already had comfortable conditions for relaxation; he rented a two-story apartment for us, plus a country house for Antal and Co. Even I (a student at the time) could afford it. It's just that laptops weren't as common back then, so no one even thought about playing outside of clubs. But it turns out it's possible, and everyone enjoys it, as the recent tournaments in Minsk, held at a resort with country cottages, have shown.
I still don't understand why it's impossible to combine relaxation, socializing, and a tournament. Why does any deviation from the planned schedule cause such rejection? Why are you so attached to this club? Does everyone really want to go to Michurinsk and spend 4 days cooped up in a club? :confused: I still hope that common sense will prevail over conservatism! :smile12:
A trip to Michurinsk will cost a resident of St. Petersburg 10-12 thousand rubles, while a trip to Egypt will cost 16-20 thousand rubles, depending on the hotel. So that no one thinks that there is some kind of obsession with Egypt, I propose a compromise: MINSK. The cost of the trip is 10 thousand rubles. In return, you'll also have participants from Minsk, Moscow, and probably Ukraine.
