Mariya Muzychuk: Such positions suit my style best |
Mariya Muzychuk comes to the press center following her win in the second game of the final match and reviews the critical moments of the game.
Anastasia Karlovich: First you surprised your opponent, then she surprised you. Can you tell more about this opening duel?
Mariya Muzychuk: Yes, indeed, I decided to play the Ruy Lopez, which I employ very rarely. I think I was prepared well, and Natalia probably sensed it and went for the Breyer, which she never played before.
– Were you prepared for that as well?
– It is difficult to prepare for everything in the Ruy Lopez. I could not recall what is the most accurate way of dealing with 9...Nb8.
