  WannaBe: I really like that table cloth pattern, wonder where I can pick some up.

Also, those pool side chairs look really comfy, I can use a couple of those, too.

Sep-25-16  cro777: The event is conducted in Ugra Tennis Center in Khanty Mansiysk. The main hall of the Center has a big central court, which can easily be transformed into sport grounds for other disciplines or a place for hosting concerts and cultural events. It also contains seats for 3500 visitors.

It is not for the first time Ugra Tennis Center is hosting a major chess event. In 2010 it was a venue of 39th Chess Olympiad.
