The well-known Ukrainian grandmaster Pavel Eljanov married in April of this year, creating a new chess family together with Ukrainian WIM Olena Dvoretska. She has been an active chess player before graduating from the National Law Academy of Ukraine named after Yaroslav the Wise, where Pavel studied too. This University is famous for its chess club and the international tournaments, and so there could be no better spot where a happy encounter of the future couple could happen. The two met during one of the ‘Rector Cup’ tournaments, when the bride was demonstrating the games of the players for the spectators. The happy event took place in Kharkov in the restaurant ‘Helios’.
