Dear readers, I haven't been able to update my blog much recently, but I want you to know about the Voronin Cup which begins tomorrow! This is looking to be a very exciting competition. Kristal at Double Front has posted much of the essential information, and I'll hope to comment on the results once they become available. Much work is underway for this blog and beyond ... oh and I managed to secure tickets for two sessions at the Test Event, at which Russians Igor Pakhomenko, Nikita Ignatyev, Anastasia Sidorova and Anastasia Grishina are listed as competing ... It's a new year soon. PS I really love that on this link here which I copied from Double Front, there is a row of pretty badges which represent each of the republics of the Russian Federation, and when you link on them you go to the websites of the respective national governments. I love that kind of thing, but wish I had stuck at my Russian classes.
