Interview with Elena Tomilova, winner of ACP-ChessBase Women’s KO

Interview by Bojana Bejatovic 
 
WGM Elena Tomilova is the winner of the ACP-ChessBase Women’s KO Event. At first, she didn’t want to participate at the tournament but she was persuaded by her husband, GM Dmitry Kryakvin to prepare and to give it a try.
In the 1st Round she won against Arakhamia-Grant 2.5-0.5, but maybe the biggest surprise was in the second round, where we saw 3-0 against Stefanova.

We will have 5 prizes at both tournaments, 1000 EUR each. This agreement continues the successful cooperation between the two organisations to mutual benefit.

New Board Member

Dear Members,

We would like to inform you of a change of the Board composition.

Last week we received a request by our Board Member Maria Emelianova to resign from the Board. This request was accepted.

After consultations within the Board we approached Bojana Bejatovic and she accepted our proposal to become a Board Member.

We believe that Bojana will bring youthful energy and fresh outlook in the work of the Board
