Greek chess tournament

These days I am arbiter in my region's International Tournament. The tournament "Honour to National Resistance" is one of the biggest Greek tournaments. Everybody when listen about Greece is thinking about sea. So I decide to help my Bulgarian friends to find a nice beach near to their hotel that is in centre of Athens. So we went by bus to Vouliagmeni (20 km away from centre) and swim. I think this photo with Enchev Ivalho and Rusev Krasimir is the best advertisement for our tournament.I hope next year I can invite more friends to play in our place.

If the top of chess world was a place in the world that would be actually in India. Vishvanathan Anand was the first and now Abhijeet Gupta and Dronavalli Harika shows that they will follow up! :)

Actually from Turkey

When I started this photoblog I haven't in mind that maybe I will have photos from other countries but finally before 2 months I have received an invitation to be arbiter to Turkey. For all the members of organization (organizers,arbiters,help desk,internet team) I have only good things to say so I want to thank people we co-operated well and post this photo as memory of good time.
