 David and important when in round eight with husband tell us about the game. Yeah, it was a crazy game I mean right from the opening. He surprised me with a very off-beat line a double fiancetto and I Was just kind of making it up on the spot and we got to a very interesting position where I decided to sacrifice a pawn for some Very tricky counterplay. I thought I was close to mating him or winning a piece But somehow he kept wriggling out and suddenly he was just strategically better so I had to kind of suddenly go on the defensive and Then a massive time scramble happened and I managed to kind of trick him and get all my pieces into play and then we've been mating that round his king and kind of paid off in the end so Crazy game. I'm a bit relieved because at one point I didn't like my position, but yeah I'm pretty happy now in such a tournament situation where you've got the black pieces and the wind really counts I mean that's more than you can hope for that somebody goes for an off-beat opening So you must have been happy with that. Yeah, sure. I mean, I guess he had the white pieces I mean, I'm a very beatable guy, you know, he probably wanted to press to so I was wasn't expecting anything theoretical He doesn't play that much. So Yeah, I can't complain. I would have taken, you know, a nice solid game But I was wanting to push when I had my chance and somehow it happened today So right now last night you were out doing a bit of blitz go till quite late. Probably that helped I was I was in bed at 8 p.m. What are you talking about? No, yeah, the blitz definitely helped It's nice to just kind of hang out with friends and relax after a game and move some pieces It kind of you feel less rusty if you're just kind of playing blitz for fun So yeah, I've got to thank you and Stuart and the others for that. Yeah Last two rounds remaining and it's a field wide open. How do you feel going into these two games about your chances? Yeah, I'm cautiously optimistic. You never know. I mean, it could all go wrong tomorrow very quickly, but No, I'll try I won't take any huge risks tomorrow. I mean, there's still two more rounds So, um, yeah, we'll see who I play. I'll try and push if I can especially with white and Yeah, fingers crossed. I don't know the other results today, but yeah Right, so tell us a little bit about from the psychological point of view got your probably you're gonna have your last white tomorrow So is that when you really look at giving it that final push in the tournament? I Guess yeah, objectively, I should say that but I don't know I always seem to I mean 100% of the time I get black in the last round. So I'm kind of used to that situation I mean, it's literally every tournament in the last three or four years I always get black in the last round somehow even though here I was due to start what I started with black I was due to have whites in the last round and somehow the colors messed up and Um, I'm kind of used to that situation and it could go the other way You know, they could overpress with whites in the last round So I mean if I'm in in the running in the last round, I would take that So it's like just not taking too much risk, but just keeping your chances alive. Yeah, I mean that's my style anyway I don't I don't want to take too many risks, but um, yeah, I'll try and push push Right. We wish you all the best for the remaining games. Good luck. Thanks Tonya.
