It seems a bit odd that I am posting this so late because I usually record and upload very fast my gameplay of the Friday hive chess tournament organized by our host 
We are all very worried about the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, let's hope that this will end as soon as possible and that peace will last above all. Due to this situation many sport events have been cancelled and in July was going to take place the olympics for people with disabilities in Russia in which I was going to participate but for obvious reasons it has been suspended and we now don't know exactly when and where it will take place.
However, the coach of the Venezuelan national team has told us to continue training and not to neglect our preparation because we still have confirmed the PanAmerican event in Mexico which will be played in October and we also have the National Championship in early April so we must continue practicing and studying more chess.
Well, Back to the hive chess tournament this Friday, I could not play it in the best conditions because I was at the airport in Caracas accompanying my dear friend 
it was interesting to try this new "environment" to play a few games of chess. The results as you can imagine were not the best :)
Since the beginning of last week I had in mind to play the tournament from the airport as my flight was supposed to take off at 21:00 GMT which was perfect as it was one hour before the HCT and well in theory I could play the whole tournament.
I arrived quite early to the waiting room and got ready to play the championship but the noise, the distractions, the people going back and forth made it very difficult for me to concentrate. With all that I was able to play some interesting games.
Just half an hour before the flight, they announced that the plane had some problems which is normal I guess and I immediately thought that the flight would be delayed a few hours but, they immediately announced the change of plane with another airline which got the process faster and unbelievably we started boarding 15 minutes before the scheduled time.
In other words, I could not finish the tournament because the "new" plane took off earlier than scheduled.
Now that I think about it, I have not boarded a plane since the pandemic started. The last time I traveled was in 2019 when I went to a tournament in Turkey and the truth is that there is a big difference especially with the mask and is that it is super uncomfortable, I could hardly breathe when during the trip.
Anyway, not to lose the habit, I decided to upload this video analyzing 2 games that I played in the HCT this Friday. The first one aginst
