  1. Good company and good food, as they say… 😌 Muchas gracias to Nikita (the head cook), Peter and Ildar and also to @vladimir_potkin64 and Evgeny Tomashevsky for all the help!

  2. Дорогие друзья! Хочу от всей души поблагодарить всех, кто болел и переживал за меня. Мне безмерно важны и приятны ваши слова поддержи! Увы, порою не все идёт гладко, а воплотить задуманное в жизнь оказывается труднее, чем казалось. Огромное спасибо моей замечательной команде, партнерам и всем тем людям, вместе с которыми мы проделали огромный путь. Ещё раз поздравляю @magnus_carlsen - он очень сильно играл, мастерски поддерживал напряжение, почти не ошибался и в итоге заслуженно победил. Непростые уроки будут выучены, а горький опыт пойдёт на пользу. Скоро всех нас ждут новые турниры, и добиваться побед мы сможем только вместе. Спасибо! Dear friends! I want to sincerely thank everyone who was rooting for me. Your words of support are immensely important and pleasant! Alas, sometimes not everything goes smoothly, and it turns out to be more difficult than it seemed to realize what was planned. Many thanks to my wonderful team, partners and all those people with whom we have come a long way. Congratulations once again to @magnus_carlsen - he played very well, masterfully maintained tension, made very few mistakes and deservedly won the match. Difficult lessons will be learned, and bitter experience will benefit. New tournaments are waiting for all of us soon, and we can only achieve victories together. Thanks! #fideworldchampionship #expo2020 📸@kublashvilieteri
