Usually when every year ends everybody makes some post with the best moments of the last year. So I decide it to post my most favourites shots of 2011.

The most favourite male portrait is Nikolaidis Ioannis‘ portrait

And the most favourite female portrait is Valentina Golubenko’s portrait

In chess world one of the most popular people is Anastasia Karlovich. She is not only a woman Grand Master but also almost in all tournaments the official chess photographer.

Last year she took a photo of me that more than 11 months was my profile picture. This year I was waiting the new one and finally she took me when I was looking for my next target to make a photo. So this year also I tried to have some pictures of her too.

So this post is for one of the best and prettiest chess photographers Anastastasia Kalovich

At Mediterranean championship in Turkey we had 2 medals. It wasn’t only Yannis’ gold medal but also Marina Makropoulou won Bronze medal. Congratulation Marina and hope that you will continue to be at the top greek chess players for many years more!
