A walk to repeat

     Here I am, in Olanesti, a small resort in Romania. The National Championship starts today, in some 2 hours. It's quite nice here. I like this place- it's small, quite, cosy. I'd say that it's the perfect place for a chess tournament. I like having walks and thinking about everything in the world. One has no worries here at all- just to show some good chess. I missed the tournament atmosphere- I haven't played a tournament since December, so I can say that it's the 1st tournament I play this year. It's nice to have so many friends around. This is the thing I like the most about the Romanian tournaments :)
     Here are some photos from my today's walk with Ioana Gelip:
