Since it’s just little over 3 months before 60th EGC, and there wasn’t a forum post yet, i took the liberty of starting one
So, are you folks gonna take part? For the whole 2 weeks? What tournaments you plan playing? Something else?
For me, it’s going to be the whole 2 weeks while staying at the congress site, hotel Azimut. I’ll be playing at least the main tournament and maybe some side tournaments, rapid/13x13/9x9 could be fun, but i also want to do some sightseeing in st. Petersburg, so i don’t want to be “stuck” with only playing. What i’ve heard its beautiful old city with a ton of stuff to see - and of course shopping, restaurants and nightclubs - so i also want to have some fun while i am there ;3
And of course i want to learn as much as i can, and improve my own playing
I am also staying the whole two weeks. Going to play at least the main tournament and also want to do sightseeing. I often heard that it’s a great city. I’m even learning some Russian now
I am also going. Staying for two weeks.
St. Petersburg is very close to Finland (Helsinki). I would visit it more often if the visa thing wasn’t so painful. There are many go tournaments regularly. The city has around the same population than whole of Finland
