Kyiv and Michurinsk were mentioned in the sense that the deadlines were tight in both cases, and everything came together at the last moment, largely due to a lucky coincidence. Just like in Odessa.
I don't like such situations, so I don't sugarcoat them – I write about them as they are.
Of course, this doesn't mean that everything was bad overall – if it had been, I wouldn't have gone to these Tournaments. Overall, I enjoyed all four Tournaments, and I don't regret going.
I think I fought very hard against the latecomers in Kyiv.
That's why everything was on time, and we played, although you can still smell the stench from a certain poker player from Yekaterinburg ;)
And in Odessa, well done – it was great, I'm envious. My wife, who is from Crimea, even thought about buying a ticket for a ferry to Odessa to join the end of it :smile20:
She hates the game, but she likes the heroic guys and girls; she can't forget how she and I were greeted in Moscow by the locals.
I've uploaded a few photos here:

The last two photos are a special bonus for the regular participants of the CIS Tournaments :D
Yegor, it's a pity that you and everyone else don't have comments on the photos – who is in them and what is happening.
For example, in Kyiv, I think Gorbik did an excellent job with the event report:

You can feel the professional marketer :)
Katerina, a video, and with voiceover – great, and keeping up with technological progress!
