Posts from Broadcast of the CIS Championship 2013. Auto-translated

We got a bit too relaxed after easily passing through Yeburg, and as a result, we had a tough time with Kyiv and Michurinsk again.

O_o, it's been two years, and the emotional scars haven't healed. I wasn't in Kyiv, but I don't think it was that bad. Thanks for remembering Michurinsk fondly.
So, all the matches in Michurinsk started on time, except for a few cases like Matrosov's, when he had to be searched for? Did everyone manage to finish on time?

It's better to write nothing at all than to write like that, Yur, it's disrespectful to the people who organized their tournaments.

I've uploaded a few photos here:

O_o, two years have passed, and the emotional trauma hasn't faded. I wasn't in Kyiv, but I don't think things were that bad there. Thanks for mentioning Michurinsk in a good way.
Is it nothing that all the matches in Michurinsk started on time, except for a few cases, like with Matrosov, when they were looking for him? Did everything work out on time?

Kyiv and Michurinsk were mentioned in the sense that the deadlines were tight in both places, and everything came together at the last moment, largely due to a lucky coincidence. Just like in Odessa.

I don't like these situations, so I don't sugarcoat them - I write them as they are.

Of course, this doesn't mean that things were bad overall - if they were, I wouldn't have gone to these tournaments. Overall, I enjoyed all four tournaments and don't regret going.

Is access open?, it says "access denied" error.

Access denied! Open the album!)

beautiful. I observed, watched, and it's great that I didn't go. You shouldn't spoil such harmony.

sorry, I opened it.

I don't like such situations, so I don't sugarcoat them – I write about them as they are.

Was there a lucky coincidence in Kyiv? :)))
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.

These two photos are from Kyiv – the club and the main place where 4 people officially stayed, and unofficially, it seems, almost everyone :)

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!

The first one in the fourth row is, of course, brilliant – I laughed out loud again. Now we just need to wait for photos from Knysh.

P.S. First workday – it's tough. At least it's warm here, but in Novosibirsk, according to yesterday's weather forecast, the temperature is +4. You start to believe Valenko's words that the water in the sea was warmer than it usually is in July, even warmer than in their showers at home. I hope the "valenki" team got enough positive vibes in Odessa to last until the warm weather arrives in their region.

Excellent photo images!

The photo is titled "didn't drink at all" :D

It was snowing here today :rolleyes:

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

I'm going to Kyiv.

Alexey, you definitely need to come.
