Russia attacked a kindergarten in Kharkiv today. Seeing the those pure innocent children being rescued, crying, broke my heart immensely. We leave in the cruelest reality.

FPL is back, and so are the donations based on my fantasy results. This year I’ll continue supporting Back and Alive foundation. In the FPL GW1 I scored quite average 51 points. 510 UAH go to charity.

The article published in the Russian STATE media says: “There is no other option. No one in Ukraine should stay alive”. If anyone still has any illusions, this explains the daily attacks by Russia against civilians. At least 28 people died in Kyiv last night after they bombed an apartment building.

One of those events that the whole country watches. Let’s go, Oleksandr!

Good win from Elina today against a player without a flag. The level of opposition is going to increase significantly from the next round, but we believe. 2 down, 5 to go. 600 UAH go to charity.

Also, for each set that Elina wins in this tournament, I’ll donate 100 * (game difference) UAH to charity supporting Ukrainian armed forces. So here I’ll donate 800 UAH.

My last Fantasy-related post of the season! In the final UCL fantasy GW I scored 83 points and got a green arrow up to OR 3576. 830 UAH go to charity. With this, I’m taking a break from fantasy (but not from supporting our armed forces) till next season. See you then!

The Serie A season is over, and so is the fantasy. It was my first year of following this league and playing this fantasy, so the start was pretty rough. But in the end I understood the game, I hope. 89 points in the last GW. The final OR is 432/27335 players. 890 UAH go to charity.

My worst ever FPL season since playing the game with some degree of dedication is finally over. The previous season was my best ever (top 1K), so the contrast was stark. But I’m still glad that I managed a comeback of sorts. 69 points this GW, OR is 746706. 690 UAH go to charity.

I was really positively surprised and glad that a new Ukrainian chess magazine was founded at the beginning of 2024! Yesterday I finally received my copies of the latest 2 issues.

GW37 was my best GW of the season by far, because of Brighton AM and, of course, Vardy (c) 💙 78 points all out. I am in top 1 million now for the first time, and I kid you not, since GW1 :) Now just hope for one more green arrow. 780 UAH go to charity

In the Serie A fantasy, I had quite good GW 37, despite being tricked by Atalanta team news again. 87 points all out, green arrow up to OR 500. Still have 2FTs for the final GW, so probably will do something fin with them. 870 UAH go to charity.

In Serie A fantasy this GW my captain blanked, my main GK got benched for the second week in a row and I got tricked by Gasperini team news - again! Nevertheless, I managed to get 67 points and a tiny green arrow up to OR 619. Have 4 FTs, so there will be some fun punts. 670 UAH go to charity.

Another good FPL gameweek, and I am quite close to a 6-digit rank! 74 points all out, OR is 1150270. Will I go all-in next GW with a Vardy captaincy and/or table bonus AM? We will see. 740 UAH go to charity.

Quite a good GW in the UCL fantasy, 68 points all out and green arrow up to OR 5172. I wonder is it possible to make any progress in the final round when everyone will have virtually the same team. 680 UAH go to charity.

In Serie A fantasy, I followed my strategy of always captaining Di Lorenzo and got a pretty good GW. 87 points, green arrow up to OR 629. The realistic goal should something like top-500 I guess. 870 UAH go to charity.

In FPL GW35, I played my AM chip on Crystal Palace, chasing the table bonus. It went reasonably OK. I got 63 points and a decent green arrow despite captaincy blank. Up to OR 1444239. The goal is to try to get a 6-digit rank - will be hard without doubles. 630 UAH go to charity.
