Expecions

Expecions

MVL finished on a strong kick, finishing 34th on tiebreaks on 8.0/13, after having been in 88th place after R9 with 4.5/9, but he was 3.5/4 on Day 3.

Hello everyone, would you like to play chess in the medieval style, where there will be knightly clans, where you can go from squire to master, simultaneously completing tactical tasks and accepting battles

So sad, now that no Magnus. I skipped entirely of the Rapid event start on Round 9 and Day 3.

Blitz probably will skip as well.
