Mariya Muzychuk thanked the organizers and Sochi for a brilliant tournament |
The Ukrainian chess player Mariya Muzychuk, who outplayed Natalia Pogonina in a tense final match of the Women's World Championship, thanked the organizers for providing excellent playing conditions.
During one of the numerous post-match interviews the 15th World Champion said: “I am thankful to FIDE, Russian Chess Federation and Sochi for the wonderfully organized championship. First it was even scary for me, how well everything was organized here, because when a tournament starts so excellently, it usually has a bitter end. Fortunately, my fears were void of foundation.”
