I saw this Challenger on Aceman's site, but zero info about it yet. How can we find out what's going on? :confused:

wait for Aceman to get us news
its hard to get news from here, its communication wires are not up to scratch.


and alot of Russian girls are here including Anna Bastrikova, who will also play next week's 75K in Batumi (GEO)

!!!! I wonder what we are missing?

Yeah, I figured the field might be an interesting one. I wonder if Salome Devidze has gone over, especially if there are 2 of these in a row in her home country.

Here is the Players who are in Maindraw
and no Salome this week or next :sad:
