A woman can beat any man; it's difficult to imagine another kind of sport where a woman can beat a man. That's why I like chess.
Studying is something I really love doing, and I just hope to have enough money for tuition.
If people will be interested in me, they will be interested in chess also.
My dad sacrificed many things in life for me. He abandoned a very promising and lucrative career of an army officer just so that he could continue helping me with my chess and accompanying me to tournaments.
Chess is changing. I hope chess is getting more popular, more spectacular.
