................. jajajajaj

tetveli xoxoxooxox :-))))

It will come to my chin

Son las 3.30 y no tengo sueño!... Y deberia dormir, ya que en este torneo he dormido muy poco :/ Y yo, como muchas veces me pasa, estoy hiperactiva, comiendo poco, y con muchisima energia. Lo de que estoy cansada, lo noto porque, aparte del agotamiento compulsivo a ciertas horas del dia, soy incapaz de dormirme hasta muy tarde (como hoy), y por la mañana me levanto tarde tambien.

En el torneo llevo 5,5 de 8. Hoy he perdido con Omar Almeida. Llevo un buen torneo. He ganado partidas muy buenas. Mañana me toca con David :/ En los ultimos torneos siempre me tiene que tocar o con las niñas, o con el nene! Jo!!! :)

El 26 hubo fiesta en Luz de Gas, como decia. Estuvo super-mega-guay!! La verdad es que me lo pasé muuuy bien! Me encanta jugar con música, de verdad!! :P

El match se tuvo que pasar al Armageddon, ya que ibamos empatados despues de 4 partidas. Alli me ganó Tomy y se proclamó Campeón de la Primera Edición Chess Music :)

Alex ha escrito sobre el evento tambien, podeis visitar su blog y leer la entrada entre los blogs de la parte derecha de este blog.

Todo va bien en todos los aspectos. Estamos disfrutando mucho el torneo y el ambiente, como siempre. Nos vemos con muchos amigos. Cada dia yo, Sopiko y David vamos juntos a la sala de juego. Mientras nosotros jugamos, Angeline visita la ciudad. Julia se ha ido hoy a Inglaterra; viene su cumpleaños (15 tacos ya!) y la vuelta al cole... ::)

Sigo inventándome palabras en georgiano, pronto editaré un diccionario propio, jejejeje

Por ejemplo:

დაკეტილებულებია daketilebulebia = es correcto: daketilebia = están cerrados

ტყიულები tyiulebi = es correcto: tyuilebi = mentiras

პოემა სახე ჰქონდა poema saxe hqonda = es correcto: gaognebuli saxe hqonda = su cara era un poema

გაფინდება gafindeba = es correcto: gaSreba, gaifineba = tender y secarse

ღორცი Rorci = es correcto: Roris xorci = tocino

პირდაუნ pirdawn = es correcto: pirqve = bocabajo

ფატაკამერა fatakamera = es correcto: fotokamera = cámara de fotos

იქუქოს iquqos = es correcto: imzareulos = que cocine

etc.

Tengo más... jejejejjejej

Bueno... creo que me voy a la cama ya... zZzzZzZzZzZzzzzz...zz....z...z....zZ...z......

NO A LA GUERRA

It is certainly not my intention to put scary pictures. I just wanted to say that I do not know what to say. STOP IT, PLEASE. LET THIS BABY LIVE IN PEACE.

David co-leader at World Junior. Nice evenings in la Pobla

As I was informing before, David Howell is one of our favourites at the World U20 Championships. As expected, he is performing great. Yesterday he defeated GM Safarli and is leading the event with China´s Li Chao, with 4,5 out of 5. Results, Pairings, picture gallery, cross table, live games and all info at the official page at: http://wjcc2008.tsf.org.tr/

GM David Howell (photo: official page)


Today he is facing another Chinese prodigy, the 14-year-old baby girl Hou Yifan, whos elo is 2557 and belongs to the large group of "4-pointers". The games are being very exciting, watching strongly recommended!

As for what is new here in La Pobla, everything is well and under control. :) Yesterday I won again, so did Mariam and Sopiko. GM Azer Mirzoev is leading with 5, Mariam and I have 4,5. Sopiko is staying on 4 since she lost a very well played game against GM Movsziszian the day before yesterday.

Today I am playing Mr. Mirzoev on board 1 with white, Mariam is against Movsziszian, and Sopiko against my yesterday´s opponent.

Yesterday some friends came from Barcelona to support us. It was great to see them again. Everything is quiet otherwise. We behave, eat healthy, and sleep well. LOL :-))) I am not sure you should believe the first and the third point though... But the fact, that I have not been to the pub since I am here, should count I think. Somehow I am lazy to stay up too late.

Tomorrow there will be a simultaneous exhibition in front of the hotel, offered by Mariam and Sopiko. Many look forward to it.

Have a nice day all.

Kisses,
Anna

Who is this guy?

Esta foto es de aqui, de la Pobla de Lillet, donde nos encontramos ahora mismo. Sopiko es la autora. Podeis adivinar quien es? :-)

This photo was taken by Sopiko here in La Pobla. Can you guess who is this guy? :)

La persona es famosa. No tendreis mayores problemas en adivinarlo si seguis este blog regularmente...

The person is famous. If you follow my blog regularly, you will name him without mayor complications.

Adéu!

Jornada tranquila

Woooolassss! Qué tal?? Por aqui todo muy bien! Hoy es la 5ª ronda, de momento llevo 3,5 de 4. Podeis seguir el torneo en vivo en retransmisiones aqui: http://directefcde.org/portal1.htm

Ayer fue el cumpleaños de Guillem. Le arrancaron las orejas al pobre :))) Os pongo algunas fotos pa q os hagais una idea de la cena.

Guillem a punto de empezar a cortar el pastel

Joan dandole instucciones de como se corta el pastel... xDD

Vinieron Joan y Enric tb, me alegré mucho de verlos de nuevo.

Conocimos a la pequeña Alexandra, que es una monada!!!!!!!!!! Con dos mesesitos y ya es toda una princesita! :-)

Yo, Mariam y Sopiko hicimos muchas fotos y videos, nos entró un ataque de risa y ya se sabe como se suele acabar eso... xDDD

Ahora están en la piscina, bronceandose... :-)

Nos vemos!

Feeling sorry for Roi

Good afternoon!

I didn´t post yesterday as I was somewhat tired in the evening when we got to the hotel after the round. We did not even go out afterwards, because, it was also cloudy and murky here. The weather has been great so far though. We stayed quiet talking to our friends on the internet and then I played some games on Playchess instead. Although I was lagging so badly I had no other choice than to stop and wait until the wifi got better at the hotel.

I drew with Mariam in a worse position, and I have now 2,5 out of 3. The game of the day probably was Roi Reinaldo vs. Maurici Tarrago, Roi was better the whole game and two pawns up (without any compensation) when I finished my game, and just when I arrived to the hotel, my manager informed me that Reinaldo lost on board 3. I was astonished and couldn´t believe that. Then I went directly to the live broadcasts page for the tournament to see what had happened. A tough blow!! He had missed a two-move (quite attractive, though) tactical stuff. I felt very sorry for Roi, I must admit...

Today is Guillem´s birthday. He is our friend and Sopiko&Keti&Mariam´s clubmate. They all play for a Catalonian Club called Peona i Peó. This summer he missed a chance to visit Georgia and he will make it next year hopefully, we do look forward to it. :) Happy Birthday, Guillem!

I am leaving, see you again soon.

Kisses,
Annnnn

Promise kept, Ir0n :)

Hi all!

I have just been asked by Ir0n a few minutes ago to also post in English. There have been approaches like that before, but apparently without much success, as I would put a few words, and then I would continue writing in Spanish again and again. Now I will take it into consideration, and more posts in English will appear. I have realised there are many who do not understand Spanish, and it would be so nice of me to make their lives easier! :-)
That said, I must recommend that also you learn Spanish, as it is an extremely beautiful and useful language. You are missing a lot if you don´t!

As for these days´news, I am right now in a small village in high mountains of Catalonia, called La Pobla. I am playing a strong Open Tournament here. For the moment I have scored 2 out of 2, as well as my nice and cute friends - Mariam and Sopiko (you can check their blogs on blogroll on right side of the blog). Unfortunately, Mariam will be my oponent tomorrow. I recall this happened last year too. It sucks... :-S But what to do?!?! We are professional chessplayers, and we do know it is important to deal with such happenings!

Everything is great out here, the village is very beautifull, very small actually. Everyone recognizes us, chess life is very active here. Many supporters come to follow our games daily.

There is also another very important fact there: the President of the Catalonian Chess Federation - Mr. Toni Ayza is playing himself. So does his younger son - Alex. David is the responsible for LIVE coverage. Actually Mr. Ayza plays lots of tournaments during the year. He is a very nice person. I have hardly met such an active and versatile President. He is doing a great job!

I will go to sleep now. Maybe I will post again tomorrow. I would like to also inform you that WIM Keti Tsatsalashvili and GM David Howell are actually playing the World Junior in Turkey. They are certainly our favs. :) Best of luck, guys!

Kisses,
Ana
