The Wolf

     It's been a very good day for me!
     I won a nice game against Prizant Yaroslav (2537) with white. It was a very complicated game with a lot of interesting possibilities for both black and white. The game was so tense- everything was decided on the last 30 seconds in the first time trouble. My opponent missed a nice idea and gave me the chance to win- a chance which I gladly took. You can see my game here:

 
   

Constantin Lupulescu with 5p out of 6

     Moiseenko Alexander is leading the tournament with 5,5p out of 6. He beated Shengelia David today and will face Evgeny Alekseev with black tomorrow.
     Constantin Lupulescu won a nice game against Grachev Boris proving why his friends call him "Lupu"- which means "The Wolf" in Romanian. He's got 5p out of 6 and has an impressive 2803 performance. He has got one more white tomorrow-against Fransisco Vallejo Pons.

     Here you can see the results of all the Romanians:

     Tomorrow is the last round before the free day. I play against Ruck Robert (2570) with black. I won very luckily against him last year at the EICC. He forgot about time in a drawish endgame. I hope that the fortune will smile to me again tomorrow :)
