Standers-by see more than gamesters. Thats why the posts in Pogonina.com blog will not be limited to Natalias and her grandmaster colleagues its time for an insider amateurs opinion!
Few people know what its like to be a top chess player. The mastodons of the game fly too high to communicate with the public, and limit their comments to that was a nice tournament, I gained 10 rating points and had a good time or what a terrible performance I lost 15 ratings points + the organizers havent paid me the appearance fee!.
Lets peek into the soul, no, shower, no, daily life of our charming sportswoman, and see what her workdays are like. Of course, you can ask Natalia yourself (via the Guestbook or by email -

), but, remember, standers-by see more than gamesters. So if you send me your questions about Natalia, I will try to spread some light on the topics in the next episodes of the 24/7 with Natalia Pogonina show.
Ok, lets start with Episode 1:

Hello, Dear Readers & a Gap between Tournaments

I rarely rest for too long between tournaments. Usually, I take part in at least one competition a month. This approach has both advantages and shortcomings. The benefits are that playing regularly keeps you in good trim, offers chances to earn money and boost your rating. On the other hand, each chess player needs to take breaks from time to time in order to think over his Chess Way, spend some while studying productively, and just get a life!
I hate long gaps between tournaments. This dwells on my nature - I'm a player to the bone, who likes to feel the atmosphere of competition and chess struggle. Diligent home studies before playing in an event appeal to me much less, "maybe yes, maybe no".
Currently I'm having a rest, which will probably last until the end of June. It's very hard to make plans since the information on upcoming events is rather inconsistent, and I'm still waiting for news about Urals Cup-09 super tournament. I've also got university exams and private matters to see to.
Anyway, right now I'm as keen as ever on the latest chess news, so if you have any questions or topics you'd like to discuss - feel free to ask! I'd also be happy to hear your advice on improving and expanding the website.
Let's keep in touch! :-)
