I became FIDE Arbiter

I post this photo just to announce that finally I became Fide Arbiter. Actually the first one in Greece :) You can see the list that I am the only one because before there wasn't requirement to qualify for International Arbiter to become Fide. I will apply at January and for the Arbiter's title and then as far as I know will be approved another one for Fide Arbiter. Hypothetically now I can be arbiter in any tournament in the world and not only at Greece. Practically someone have to invite me ...

An Armenian dancing with an Azeri

This photo made me feel so happy.When I saw an Armenian dancing with an Azeri I felt so happy that two people that their countries chose to be enemies are good friends.That ignore that their countries chose to poison people with hate and hunger for blood and racist feelings.Aronian and Mamedjarov show that people are all the same. Please no more blood for money!
