Panchenko Memorial 2021: it is over!
Hi everyone! 
I am writing this post from Bishkek. We returned home on Thursday, 23 September, early in the morning. I managed to sleep a few hours and go to work later that day. I postponed the writing of this post until the weekend, and now, after I got enough sleep and rest, I am sharing with you some information on the last few days in Chelyabinsk.
I disappeared from my blog after the 8th round. The main reason was that I lost again in the ninth round (yes, I lost 4 games in a row!). It seemed to me that there was no point in writing something, and there was no mood for this. I went to the tenth round without any preparation, but with only wish to finish this tournament. I managed to win the last game and it somehow lifted my spirits.
Below you can see my two last games without analysis. In fact, I plan to review and analyze them together with my Mom (She is a WIM).
You can see the final results of the tournament by following the links:

Link to Tournament B (Women): https://chess-results.com/tnr574854.aspx?lan=11&art=0&fed=KGZ
I cannot draw conclusions about the tournament yet. One thing I know for sure: I'm not going to quit chess , although this year was very unlucky for me (I lost a lot of rating points). Now I want to find my weaknesses and work on them. It seems to me that I have some kind of barrier, overcoming which, I can return the lost rating and, who knows, maybe I will be able to obtain the WIM title one day.
Below you can see links to all my posts about my trip to Chelyabinsk.
Cheating or Bad Sportsmanship?!
