I have played and lost a very interesting and fighting game against GM Timofeev (2671 elo) in the first round. You can find more information on http://www.eurobudva2009.com/eng.htm
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!
I have added a new page on the top menu, where you can replay and download a selection of my best games!
In the next few days I’ll try to make it a bit more functional – until then, bear with me 🙂
I am in the process of upgrading and renovating my website. Please show a little patience and pretty soon all the material from the previous version will be uploaded, as well as lots of new stuff!
