A hi from Porto Mannu

Suddenly the reports from Sofia ended. And for me the Mtel tournament already feels a bit far away and long ago. What was the case? Friday afternoon I managed to post the last material right in time and then I had to hurry to the airport. Via Rome I flew to Sardinia on Saturday morning where my next tournament started in the afternoon.
It’s located at the north coast of Sardinia, the area is called Capo d’Orso / Porto Mannu. The resort where the players stay is located beautifully at a bay and everyone enjoys the delicious Italian food. The only negative aspect is that there’s no internet at all. I write this on a slow internet computer at the nearest town, Palau, which can only be reached by taxi. (Luckily I could share it with two Spaniards.) The have many lectures here, by amongst others the well-known trainers/writers Aagaard, Marin and Rowson (who also play in the tournament). I already put Aagaard’s on video and Marin has also agreed. I also want to interview the three. So in short: I’m doing nice things for ChessVibes but I’m afraid I can only publish it next week… Although I might be able to arrange something via the organizers. The tournament has five electronical boards, using a mobile internet connection. So, hopefully until soon!
HEEL vervelend dit allemaal weer hoor, Peter
Veel plezier daar, en succes in het toernooi.
Te deseo las mejor de las suertes ahí en Capo d’Orso. Que anotes muchas victorias.
Un Saludo.
Italian food and chess, how much better can life get?
Wow, thank you Peter. I look forward to seeing the new videos on ChessVibes in the near future.
Sounds like a perfect week: chess, italian
food (and wine?), no internet (= not stress from
outside) …
Still, I am looking forward to your new reports
and videos!
I really enjoy your site…
Hi Peter! Good luck in your games!
Tell Marin I say hi
Besos,
Anna

well, it is a pity for you that you missed the -expected but nevertheless thrilling- Topalov’s comeback in the last round of MTEL tournament.
It-s like these greats phenomenoms of nature, volcanoes, hurricanes and so on…Must see.
A great great game by its sheer force of will. This guy is a true champ.
hoe zit dat nu met die kandidaten? en waar staat topalov in dat plaatje? kan iemand dat eens duidelijk uitleggen?
ciao Peter, un grande saluto and many compliments for your report from Porto Mannu.
Maybe next year…….one never knows……
ciao, ciao a tutti gli scacchisti olandesi
