Between October 14 and 18 a chess train tournament was held in five different countries. The trip went to five beautiful Central-European cities; the chess was rapid (25 minutes on the clock for each person, no increment). The train left from Prague on Friday, October 14th at 10 am and on the way to Vienna the first 3 rounds of the tournament were played. In the afternoon and evening the players, accompanying persons, organizers and sponsors could enjoy the Austrian capital, and stayed there in a hotel. On Saturday morning the train continued to Budapest, and on Sunday morning everyone travelled further to Bratislava! On Monday the train is headed to Krakow and from there it went back to Prague on Tuesday.
(4/4) On another note I could do with some tips on how to get a good sleep. It seems like I am a fully fledged insomniac. π΅βπ«
I was in bed at 1am last night but didn't even manage to get 1 minutes sleep after tossing and turning all night. Been awake for about 40 hours now. π±

(3/4) I missed one very likely obvious winning move.
Here I played Bg2? but I should just play Qh6!
For some reason I had missed ...Qxh6 Bxh6 ...Nxc3 a3! Which is game over.
In the end I lost π after Johann played excellently.
