Thunderstruck

     The free day is almost over. It's been a very lovely day- raining lots with thunder :))) It's good that we didn't go to any excursion and chose to play the blitz tournament. It was very fun! (until I started to "sacirifice" rooks :)))
     All in all- it was a very nice way to spend the time for me- I really like playing blitz. I started the tournament with 5p/7, beating 2450 after 2450, but the thunderstruck stopped at some point and my strike also, so I finished with 7p/13, but still won some 20 Elo points.
     Catalin-George Ardelean (2510) had a fantastic tournament, sharing the 1st place with 10,5p/13. He raised his blitz Elo with 60 points, showing a 2695 performance. You can see the final standings here:

     It's been a very nice day! I hope that the next rounds will go fine for me, but I have time to worry about it tomorrow- it's still the free day now, right? :P
