Two weeks of emotions, fighting
,struggling are over.
I think that it was the best time I had in
the last year and I’m not saying that because I was so happy or because someone
made me so happy, but because for 2
weeks(!!!) I was doing the things I
like the most-I was playing chess, socializing with almost all my friends from
all over the world, having fun at the parties! After such kind of tournaments I
remember why I love chess the most-one tournament is a miniature of life-
trying to do your best for obtaining smth ,being let down, being very
disappointed of yourself, complaining of how unfair things are, being
encouraged by someone, starting to win, feeling the confidence coming back,
having a crush-winning even more games, then being either very happy or again
disappointed- that’s how things happen at
a chess tournament- and after all- having a sorrow/celebrate party…
Our team had a lucky strike in the last 3
rounds and beating Peru in the last round with 2,5-1,5 score we took the 5th
place, qualifying for the World Team
Championship ,where only the best 10 teams in the World are allowed to play!
It’s a very big achievement for us.

As for me, I was broken after the first 3
rounds, scoring only 0.5 out of 3 and I want to thank our captain for believing
in me when even I didn’t and let me play, so I could have an amazing
come back, scoring 6.5 out of 7!
I am also
grateful that I am so lucky to have such amazing teammates, who can always
support me and make me laugh!
I am very happy to be a part of the Chess
World and I’m looking forward to see you all at the next Olympiad, in
Norway,2014!
