 Le, when with the black pieces a good way to start the tournament? Yeah, I'm very happy to have a good start today Last year I shared first, but I didn't really have a good start. I drew the first game So I hope that this will be better than last year. Also the game itself was quite convincing Yeah, I like what I got after the opening very comfortable middle game and All my pieces are active. So he makes some Small mistakes, but the position was already very comfortable for me And then suddenly he gave the sacrifice on a five, but it didn't really work. Yeah, I think it's kind of a desperate move. He was already a two points down and also Down on time. So he tried to complicate the position But I had this king f7 and holding everything together Right now you have been to Gibraltar before. How is it to be here? Yeah, I'm really happy to be back. This is my fourth time and Now I'm very familiar with on the venue the hotel and everything. So really like the the tournament here Now a lot of people feel that Gibraltar is a small place But we've got players from all over the world who keep coming back. So despite it being a small place What do you think it is about Gibraltar that brings people back? Yeah, definitely the natural beauty of Gibraltar is something very unique that you don't really see in many other tournaments and and the special thing about Gibraltar is not only about the quality of the players, but also about the level of organization attention to details and The hospitality of the hotel and everyone here So I think that The combination of all these factors really make this tournament a favorite for most of the players including myself It is a very special place now We've also seen you actively be a part of social events like the Battle of the Sexes. Do you enjoy that? Yeah, I think I have played that two times already and looking forward to it this year too And it's really a fun event to attend Well, we're looking forward to having you on the team for that now you're here with your wife this year you got married last year Congratulations.
