Another bite in the... rain

Chess despite everything!

     Another rainy autumn day is behind...
     The weather has changed so dramatically since my last post that I can't help the somehow typical autumn melancholia to invade my mood.
     All this time since Olympiad I've been trapped in the "normal life" of a "normal person". You know, when you have to do so many little things, you're busy all day long and then you get in bed at the end of the day asking yourself if you really did anything significant. Frankly, though I know this kind of weeks are necessary, I feel like my life passes by, so you can imagine how happy I am they're over!
     I am finally getting back to my favorite lifestyle- the one of a chess player!
     Many tournaments are ahead! First, an Open in Cap d'Agde, France, where I've already been for 2 times, one of them which I really enjoyed (the one not involving someone stealing all my money on my day 1 of being in France and losing 20 Elo points afterwards).

Favorite activity in rainy days!

     An Open in Novi Sad will follow, one which will take place in the same period with the European Club Cup. I've been several times in Serbia and it was great every time so I am looking forward to this tournament!
     The Romanian Club Championship will be next and the Romanian Blitz & Rapid Championships afterwards and maybe even some more tournaments will appear in my calendar as well... I am fully packed up for the last months of this year and I'm really excited about it!

     I hope you're all well and I wish you a full or maybe a calm autumn- however you prefer it!

Lifestyle changes

     There are things that one does voluntarily and things that come to life accidentally. Neither of them does lift the responsibility for the fethced consequences.
     Have you done anything because you thought that was the right thing to do at that time? Great! Have you done anything just because you wanted to do it even if you knew that it might had been wrong? Bad for you.      Anyways, there are consequences and I don't care about excuses like "I didn't do it on purpose".
     Everyone has the right to make a mistake one time, but done it 2 times- it's no longer a mistake- it's a choice. I can deal with mistakes, but I don't see the point to deal with lifestyle choices that I don't like. If I don't like a lifestyle I simply stop dealing with it and I change everything.
     The time for 180 degrees changes has come!
