 Ona Bagun Kolade of Nigeria has been having a phenomenal run here at the Gibraltar Masters. Let's have a chat with him. Kolade, you're officially the grandmaster slayer of Gibraltar. How do you feel about your performance so far? I feel kind of happy about it. It's been, the games have been tough. I'm very happy about my composure. It's very easy to feel intimidated looking around and seeing grandmasters, grandmasters, and you don't have a title. But I'm happy I was able to keep my composure so far, so good. You say intimidated, but it also must be inspiring to play alongside them. Yeah, yeah, really inspiring because, I mean, a lot of, a lot of these DJs, I'm just saying, I love your book, I read your book. No, I'm going around, Avan Chook is playing, all around is playing. It's like, wow, it's a great tournament. It's really a great tournament. So from reading their books to defeating them over the chessboard. It's been good. It's been good. It's been good. I try to play as good chess as I can, try to compose myself, try to find the best resources on the position and try to utilize my time properly. So far so good. It's been a long tournament to play. Do you feel that your opponents from the first two rounds, perhaps they underestimated you? Yes, I think so. I think in round one, I think the game was drawn. But probably the fact that, I mean, I'm on rate, I'm untitled, so it's so low rating. My opponent kept pushing till the activity of my king decided it in my favor. Then from that point, it wasn't, it wasn't, it couldn't hold the game anymore. Now today you had a tough game against Maxime, tell us a little bit about playing against him. It's, he's extremely difficult to prepare against, he's world number six, he's, I expected E4. I was totally surprised when I saw NF3 on the board. The game was kind of dry, there wasn't so much room for inspiration, and then in the end game, it was just a grind, it's kind of, it's really tough playing him, really tough playing him. Right now you have been a star over here and people are talking about your games and your first two wins. With your performance, do you believe that many people in your country in Nigeria will get inspired? Yes, definitely, definitely. In my country, we don't have a lot of rated tournaments. We have a lot of talented players and a lot of them to get opportunity to travel, to play. So the fact that we are here representing our country and trying our best to do as well as we can, it's getting a lot of inspiration for them that yes, they can do it, yes they have the talents to play on the world stage, they just need to work on it, believe in themselves and go for it. And how do you find the experience of playing here in Gibraltar? It's a fantastic experience, I won't trade it for anything. It's your second time here with us? It's my second time. And what about the social side of the event, do you enjoy the many activities that happen after the round? Yes, I do. I enjoy interacting with other players. It's been very taxing playing both challengers and masters, trying to prepare for two players during the day. But it's a great environment, it's a great tournament. I like the cordialness of all the participants. The level of organization is superb. I think Gibraltar Chess Festival is probably the best tournament in the world. And with your performance so far, have you also been receiving a lot of messages from your loved ones back home? Yeah, yeah, I mean at one point it's kind of like I put a lot of pressure because now everyone is following the game, you're trying to also not do anything wrong on the board. But I think yes, yes, I've gotten a lot of attention from home. And your strategy for the upcoming rounds? Do my best, hold on, try and win. It's a good one, we wish you all the very best. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you.
