By the way, just in case, for those who arrive before the event starts and don't want to spend money on hotels. My friend has an apartment next door, and he rents it out daily. 15 euros per day. Two sofas, all appliances, a flat-screen TV, and Wi-Fi. So, if anyone needs affordable accommodation for a few days, let me know. 1-4 people can stay there until the 28th, when check-in for the main venue opens.

He lives in the apartment next door, separated only by a wall, and rents it out on a daily basis.

Having Vigo next door could end up costing a lot more...)))

As I understand it, we'll have to get to the base on our own, and there are no plans for meeting at the train station. Could you please provide directions from the train station? And most importantly, who else is traveling by train? If we're going together, it will likely be on the 26th, and we'll arrive in Chisinau on the 27th morning (at 9). If I'm going alone, it will probably be on the 28th, and I'll arrive in Chisinau on the 29th morning. Will anyone else be arriving on these dates and at approximately the same time by train? We could meet along the way and travel together as a group. I remember in St. Petersburg, at McDonald's near the train station, we were treated to Dagestani food while waiting for the Muscovites, and then we treated them. Then Preds also told us about his birthday near the supermarket... :)

We will arrange the meeting, but most likely not in person. However, we will provide transportation.

So, I want to warn you right away that those who haven't informed me about their arrival time (even approximately) won't be met. Most meetings will be arranged via taxi. You will need to pay for the taxi. This isn't Vegas or Paris, so prices won't be exorbitant.

I can meet some of you, but not everyone.
Taxi from the airport - about 200 lei.
Taxi from the train station - about 120 lei.

Prices are taken from Yandex.Taxi, but they might be slightly higher, considering the pre-arranged meeting.

Price announcement

The accommodation cost remains the same: 170 euros. I recommend that you all bring euros or dollars (the ruble exchange rate in Moldova is not very favorable right now).
The banquet cost has changed slightly. The banquet will cost 17 euros per person. Unfortunately, the exchange rate affected this. However, I can also mention that the banquet includes wine.

The tournament fee remains the same and can be paid in any currency.

The tournament entry fee remains the same and can be paid in any currency.

Can I just withdraw local currency from an ATM?
And how difficult is it to pay with a card?

I think this is the best approach: take euros and exchange them for lei in Moldova (if needed at all).
As for withdrawing money from a card, it's best to use a Mastercard (Visa will have additional conversion fees), with an account in euros or rubles. Again, withdraw euros, as withdrawing in lei will result in an extra conversion fee from the bank that issued the card, plus a commission...

It would be nice to pay for accommodation and meals with a card, but as I understand it, the base only accepts cash payments, right?

Withdrawing lei from ATMs is not a problem. There are even ATMs where you can withdraw dollars and euros. Paying for accommodation with a card is, of course, not possible.

However, in most other places, cards are accepted almost everywhere.

I will arrive on Friday night and reach the base on Saturday morning/afternoon by bus, if there are any other options.

It seems this will be the largest CIS event, at least in terms of the geographical representation of participants. It's a pity that Marquis the cat won't be able to attend ((). I wish everyone exciting games and a good mood!

P.S. Are there any plans for streams from the event, even if just of the decisive matches? Is there a technical possibility for that?
