Hi everyone!

It is 11PM and I'm writing this blog tonight to tell you a few words about my day.

For some reason I started it quite early. I woke up at 5AM and understood that I can't sleep anymore. But I like to start my days early, especially when I am not at home, but at some nice place like Belgrade My plan for today was to do some shopping and maybe to explore a little bit the area on the left bank of the Sava river in the first half of the day. In the end I had time only for shopping

Back at the hotel, I wrote a blog about my third day in Belgrade (By the way, thank you very much to everyone who reads my posts! I read all your comments!) and prepared a little bit for the game. I was playing with White pieces, so I knew that it was going to be the English Opening anyway :-)))

The game turned out not very exciting (I even couldn't provide any comments). The only thing I can tell is that I overestimated my position... I thought that I was better with some chances for a win. However, the engine disagreed with me. I am happy with a draw anyway. In Swiss tournaments like this one, it is very important not to LOSE!

So here is the game:

Since my game ended quite early and I didn’t want to stay in the hotel, I decided to walk to Knez Mihailov Street again. Below I am sharing some pics from today

Now it is time to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be tough since we have two rounds! Good night and see you in my next blog post!
