I am back in Iasi, morally preparing myself for the following 6 exams that I have to pass.
The last weekend was so nice! I can't believe that I was still playing chess yesterday, feeling great and I have to study for my exams now. My session will last for 2 weeks. I hope that everything will be just fine and I'll be able to start enjoying my super busy summer schedule afterwards.
I already miss the tournament atmosphere. The reason why I like to play tournaments in Romania is because I know everyone and I've got a lot of friends with whom I can hang out :)
We were playing blitz in the first evening. It was very fun playing against such strong players and beating them time to time :D
