     It was a really nice tournament and I am so happy that I've got such amazing teammates:

Will keep you posted!

     It is so, so nice to play in a cool, calm and friendly atmosphere! I keep saying this, but actually- I think that it is the thing that matters the most in team championships- the team spirit.

     As about me, I've got 5,5p/6 so far. I can't say that I'm satisfied with my chess, but I enjoy myself during every game.

Mamaia

     It is very sunny in Mamaia! The weather is simply amazing for getting tanned and for having a swim- things we don't exactly have time to do because of the tournament.
     Another round passed and we won the match:

     The Romanian Club Championship has started yesterday, in Mamaia, with a lot of interesting matches beginning from the very first round.
     We won the match against "CSM Bucuresti":

     I like playing in Romania, especially the Superleague, as it's a team championship and I feel very good playing for my team "Politehnica Iasi". I've missed seeing my teammates, having long walks and just having a great time with them :)
