Today I won a strange game vs Veleski Robert of MKD (2269 elo). We got to a slightly better position for me around move 15 and then he blundered a Q in one move… What a pity! The game was going to be very interesting. His main problem was the lack of good moves and the development was terrible. But still… 
Tomorrow we have a rest day, hopefully walk around, do some sightseeing if the weather is good. And then I will play GM A. Minasian of Armenia with 2557 elo.

I drew GM Macieja (2607 elo) of Poland today. He had a very promising position after the opening but then got into strong time-pressure and I gained a strong initiative by sacrificing a pawn. around move 30-40 he found some very good moves and neutralised my activity by exchanging some pieces and pawns.
So far the average rating of my opponents with Black pieces is 2660 Tomorrow I am playing White vs Veleski Robert (2269 elo) of MKD.

Yesterday I drew GM Savchenko (2654 elo) in another fighting game. In early middlegame he sacrificed an exchange, I sacrificed a pawn in return on the next move and we got an unclear endgame. Later on I thought I was slightly better, he thought the same about his position After the game we analysed and concluded that nobody could achieve more than a draw as the position was closed and I had a terrible pawn structure.
Today I play GM Macieja (2607 elo) who was European champion some years ago.

I lost the 3rd game to Russian GM Grachev with 2655 elo. We played 109 moves! The game was very interesting although not without mutual mistakes (Which game has no mistakes?! ). And today I won a crazy game against Romanian FM Bonte, Andrei (2355 elo). The first part was pretty good, then we spoiled the game a bit due to very light time pressure – both had to calculate loads of lines and he sacrificed an exchange.
Lets see what tomorrow brings!:-)

I have added a new page for the Russian readers on my early education. Hope you enjoy it! At some point I might consider translating it. Its a difficult work (lots of material) but definitely a very interesting one!
