 By WGM Irina Bulmaga, Romania. Best FIDE rating: 2410  There it is- a half of the Europeans has already passed. It is as I expected, a very difficult, but in the same time a very challenging and interesting tournament. I've played against strong opponents, I learned new things and I've fighted in every game until the very end. I am satisfied with my chess so far- well, it's impossible to be 100% satisfied, but I understand that there's a reason I'm still an IM and not a GM- there is place for improvement. We had a free day today and as a "real professional" I went to an excursion through the holy places of Yerevan. I had some very good time and I learned many new things about hristianity and about the Armenian history. Another thing I can't help mentioning is the Armenian food- it is so tasty that I think I will try to learn how to cook some of their dishes- especially their traditional soup "Spas". I eat it at least once a day  I hope that the second part of the tournament will go at least as well as the first one  The other Romanians keep their chances for qualification, with Constantin Lupulescu and Mircea Parligras having the best score among us- "+2".
Here are some photos from the last days:            You can find more photos on the tournament's site  With Maria Gevorgyan and Katerina Pavlidou  xoxo from Yerevan!
