Broadcast of the CIS Championship 2013.

I also want to add a few words to thank the organizers! Everything was great! A good location was chosen on the seashore, and there weren't any major issues. Except that the elderly women in charge of the kitchen sometimes refused to serve food because of their "fatigue," and I readily exchanged their food for restaurant food in town; luckily, the local food was excellent! The tournament itself, in my opinion, went well; we finished playing, and a winner was determined. I didn't notice any incidents. I feel sorry for the guys who played, though. I can't sit by the sea at night anymore, playing for hours. Respect and kudos to them for their dedication to the game, and especially to the champion, Alex, who once again surprised everyone with his level of play. He played all the games at a very high, truly championship level, and deservedly won! I also want to give a special shout-out to the guitarists! I really enjoyed their performance; it was great! Simply awesome, fitting the atmosphere, and they played excellently! I was very happy to make new acquaintances and, especially, to see old friends! In general, I'm sitting here now and regretting that I didn't fully relax and enjoy the event with everyone. I slept through most of it. I didn't have the energy for late-night gatherings. The terrible fatigue from work and lack of sleep due to late-night outings in MTT took its toll. ((( I didn't have as much fun as I could have, and I didn't spend enough time socializing with acquaintances and friends, people I've known for over a decade from the forums. And I've been away from the game for a long time... Sorry! :-( I just wasted my time. I really regret that I didn't allocate enough time for this kind of relaxation; I should have arrived earlier. Back in my hometown, I realize this more than ever. Outside, it's a "Siberian spring" with snow, gloomy, and the weather is terrible. Now I understand why people were exiled to Siberia: rolleyes: I'm going to Kyiv
