Mariya Muzychuk: I needed to take risks, to sacrifice |
 Mariya Muzychuk's victory over Humpy Koneru was sensational in many senses. The Ukrainian player came to the press center to tell journalists about it.
Anastasia Karlovich: What was your mood before this game? Did you expect to win?
Mariya Muzychuk: Actually I was planning to win as White and to hold as Black.
– Have you expected this variation?
– I thought I prepared this opening well. I reviewed all my games in this variation (Koneru haven't played it before). 11.Rе1 is a new move in my practice, I never used it before. However, I was not aware of 12...Qf5, so I had to take my time.
