Today we finished the chesstournament in my region, which lasted since friday. It is the so called "Obersteirische Schacheinzelmeisterschaft" and was played in Leoben (Steiermark/Austria). This event is played every year and I am participating since 1980 without missing one single tournament! So this was my 38. participation in a row. Well, time slips away...
