P.S.

Fair play

Because of employment not all to me managed to be looked parties of tournament, but from seen, as one of beautiful I consider party Ruben Airapetyan (Shahh & Garde -1, Estonia) – Daniel Nedostup (“Boris Spassky”, Russia) which as a result has come to the end with a fighting drawn game. Here too it would be desirable to note Fair play from Ruben. The Russian young chess player has offered a drawn game when it on hours still had 7 seconds against 10, and on a board King, Rook, kNight and a pawn against King and a Queen. It was possible to give up and on time to win a party, but the Estonian young chess player of it has not made and has agreed on a drawn game. Has won the Fair play and friendship!
