Many players, but no extra quality, no super GMs. actually quite a few of them, the rest is so-called chess plankton.
1.
Yesterday, as I was playing against Kasparov's media advisor, I noticed several kids running in and out of men's room as if they had bad bladder, so young. I wished to stand up and yell "Kids, go fyck yourselves, outside of the hall!" But I restrained, and after I have finished my game on the way out I noticed that almost all those kids are competitors on the tournament.
Blessing it was that I restrained myself.
2.
I notice my playing is more confident and that I am more secure in openings. To-night I played a variation i had played several times on RHP.
It was such surprise for my 2026 ELO opponent, that he spent 75 minutes fr first 7 moves!
I can't remember last time someone was such surprised almost puffed by my move. (Maybe in Andorra when a Spanyard was shicked by Ponziani game, as he was Vietnamese bride who saw husband's cucumber for the first time and was shoked that it lookes like aubergini.)
She was soshort of time that he offered a draw in 21st move although he had extra Pawn. And I was so amused by having such tremednous advantage in time, that I couldn' focus on the game but I was thinking on travelogue I am writing and on threads on RHP forums! I accepted the offer.
3.
I was severely stepped on toes during evening game. I learned 3 yearsago never to wear sandals when playing chess. The best footwear are Dr Martne's boos with iron spears, like fashionable punk rock style from 1978.
4.
I was doomed to watch games on neighboring tables.
I was flanked by two fat guys. Fat people should pay doublle admission for chess tournaments. One could not cover his escaping bread dough belly with his shirt and it trembles as an alien. His opponent was control freak Swede, with matching socks in polished shoes.
Tomorrow I will post 2 games.
