Surprise test on Chapter 1 of "21st Century New Openings": 6 diagrams to complete with at least the first 5 moves and a comment of the final position. I had 2.5 point out of 6, it's the best for the worst players, I'm quite satisfied! In the mourning I played a 5 handicap game with Kim Sung Ryong 9d in a 5 match simultaneous and finally won by 2 points. I was quite happy because at the end he said that I made a very good move: this is probably the reasons why he let me the final victory.

The whole day was monopolized by the presence of two reporters: they filmed normal school activities, they wanted us to make something they like, they filmed us at 2cm far while we were playing, they made interview to some people (me included), they asked to tell what they preferred, they filmed us while we were playing, they filmed us during korean lessons.

Teachers:

• Hong Seul Ki (홍슬기) - 7d amateur
• Kim Sung Rae (김성래) - 4d professional
• Kim Sung Ryong (김성룡) - 9d professional

Today the timetable is not very different. Only one game for me, with Pedro, 2k from Portugal. I played a friendly game with him the day before and It was and interesting game, he won with a big battle. Today he won again in the same way, maybe it's better if I think twice before having me third loss with him! I think he is a little bit stronger than me, but the games against him are very interesting, and he is a very nice person. Many people, Gabriel from Argentina above all, make fun of him keep saying that Portugal is a Brasil's province!
