First of all, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year, full of accomplishments and everything each of you wants!I spent the New Year as a real chess player- on the road, on my way back from a tournament in Austria. It went well for me until the last round, where I felt it was the moment to play some mad chess :)) If I would win, I could share the 1st place, a thing which was very appealing... Unfortunately, I took too many risks and eventually- I lost that game.
Anyhow, I enjoyed my stay there, it was the first time I played in Austria and I'm looking forward for coming back at some point. The trip back was very funny, mainly because it wasn't me the one who had to drive and I could enjoy watching fireworks in each city we passed in the company of a friendly bottle of Jager :D
I already have a lot of plans for 2016, mainly chess related ones.
My first tournament will be Moscow Open. I have played there for several times and despite the very cold weather I enjoyed it every year. It is one of the very few Ladies Opens with good prizes and I find it very interesting.
That's all for now, I will come back with more news very soon, as I had a project I worked on and it should be published very soon!
Once again, Happy New Year to everyone and may all your starts be inspired!
