 by WGM Irina Bulmaga  Here I am in Kavala, after a long, tiring and unsuccessful tournament in Belgrade. I went to the beach the last 2 days and I had some time to think about what happened. It wasn't in my plans to play so badly- it was even a small shock for me... I wanted to qualify, but instead- I finished on -1 and a big Elo loss. I guess that bad tournaments happen but it's a bit dissappointing when they happen to be the most important ones. There are more tournaments to go, more Europeans and more chances to qualify- there's nothing to do now but to try to focus on the upcoming events. Kavala is a really nice city, with amazing beaches and nice surroundings. I was a bit afraid to come to play here after my horrible tournament in Belgrade, but I am happy with my decision now- as the Greek sun has charged my batteries, filling it with some positive thoughts   Here is the link where you can follow the results. Wish you all a nice summer! P.S. I won my game today, playing as a favourite- which makes my win kind of expected, but you can't imagine how happy it has made me! Replay the game It's my first win since the 28th of July (yes, I'm counting  ) and I played six games since then against players with less Elo than me. It is such a relief to know that I still can win!You can find the live games here. Can't help myself sharing the game with you!
