Hello everybody!
I finally reached my destination and arrived in Moscow. The flight went very well and I liked flying with Delta Airlines.
At the airport I bought the September issue of the Russian “Vogue” magazine and found there an article about me. They made a very unusual choice of photos but I liked the article which is the most important thing for me. I scanned the article for you so you can read it (if you know Russian, of course):) Click on the small image below to see the full article.
What do you think is the first thing I do after arriving home? The answer is obvious: I check my emails, new tweets and my facebook page of course! So I get very disappointed when there is no internet! Luckily today everything worked fine and I received lots of interesting emails.
Andreas sent me a few puzzles for my blog and here is one of them. Once in a while I will post his puzzles to keep your mind busy:)
This is the position from the game Menchik, Vera – Graf, Sonja (Wch (Women) Semmering, 1937). It’s White to move.
Tomorrow I’m going for a week to a chess training session close to Moscow and I hope I will be able to get connected on-line there.
