Well, this year I decided to play as many tournaments as possible 🙂 So far I managed to participate in 5 events – I played in Italy, Austria, Macedonia, Hungary and Poland! Now it’s time to summarize it before holidays.
| TOURNAMENT | SCORE | GMs & IMs faced | Rating perf. | ELO change |
| Gabicce Mare | 6.5/9 | 5xIM | 2477 | +8 |
| Graz Open | 6/9 | 3xGM | 2520 | +11 |
| Karpos Open (Skopje) | 6.5/9 | 2xGM | 2503 | +9 |
| Sax Memorial (Zalakaros) | 4/9 | 2xGM, 2xIM | 2328 | -15 |
| Lublin Union Memorial | 5/9 | 4xGM, 2xIM | 2488 | +6 |
My rating in January was 2425 and on 1st July it will be 2444 so I gained nearly 20 ELO points which is positive, but as you can see I had one terrible result which destroyed my progress a bit. Still I am happy with quality of my play and I know what should I focus on to make a further progress.
Crown Tribunal in Lublin, Poland
My next tournaments are:
- Najdorf Memorial in my hometown (Warsaw)
- Mare di Fano in Italy
- Polish League (1st Division)
- …and I’m certainly looking for at least two more tournaments this year 😉
