I honestly enjoyed the tournament in Kyiv, but not because of the organization; rather, it was the organization itself that I had some complaints about, and I will certainly take them into account when organizing the CIS tournament in Yekaterinburg.

Thank you for the text. I just noticed that a tournament for the entire CIS is planned in Yekaterinburg. I thought it would just be a gathering of Siberians... Although, looking at the list, besides the neighboring regions, there are only Moscow and St. Petersburg...

It's hard to compare it to the CIS tournament that was held in Kyiv...
Back then, there was a real selection process, a competition among those who had the right to go, i.e., there was ORGANIZATION... but what about now? Everyone who can goes...

I don't want to state my conclusions so as not to offend anyone... but it's just a get-together, not a CIS tournament.
