I got the title of israeli world correspondence champion and later the SIM norm when I scored 8.5/10 and 8/10 was enough to get the SIM norm. I try to get the GM norm in the europe championship. I need 8/12 I have 2/3 and I believe that I have an advantage in 6 out of 9 games but translating advantages to win is not an easy task so I am not sure if I will get the GM norm. In one game I fight for a draw and my opponent has an advantage of exchange for a pawn. I think that I was relatively more creative in that game and I chose twice moves that were not suggested by my engines after seeing that engines moves probably cause me to lose the game. I am not sure if my choice save the game and I expect a long game that my opponent will try to win.
