World Youth Chess Championships 2010: Day 3


World Youth Chess Championships 2010 - Simone on the hotel room balconyView from my hotel room balcony

Every morning, when I walk through the sliding doors of the Porto Carras Hotel, I feel the light breeze envelope me.

Looking ahead, I can see a wooden bridge over the crystal blue pools and miniature water falls on built-in rocks making loud noises. There are trees here and there, green and dark green, where the sun in the cloudy blue sky casts its light. There are reclining chairs around the pools and by the beach. On the right, I hear the laughters and some predictable rhythmic bounces of the pingpong ball on the table, where the world's young top players in various colorful national team uniforms release their physical energy and tension. In the distance, I can see just a turquoise line on the horizon above the magical sea.

This is just another day of the World Youth Chess Championships. So far, I have been paired against 3 woman FIDE masters. The fighting on the board is always interesting and I have been enjoying my games as usual, win or lose. Today the US team is once again filled with joys of victory. There are quite a few kids with perfect scores. Congratulations to them.
