I guess that it could be better, but it is still ok. You can find the pairings and the results here. I visited the Byzantine fortress on the hill of Panagia yesterday.

Chess Theory

Written by Administrator
Monday, 12 August 2013
One doesn't often see an article in Vogue Russia titled "Chess Theory". This is the case. Quoting the post: "Black arrows on a white dial, a contrast between the wristlet and the watch-case, or all elements of the same color - your watch is precise and strict, just like the regulations of a chess game".
