 Hikaru almost a win-on-demand situation to be able to get to the tie breaks. How did the game go? Well, the opening was I think very advantageous to me. I mean the position was certainly unique after about 10 moves I was still my preparation whereas Eduard was not But then then I use a lot of time and I went wrong when I played this G4 move. Bishop G4 I think is completely fine for black, but I don't know if it's better for black I mean it's a game but after G4 for some reason I completely forgot about this nightage form I mean I saw this knight to Qd4 knight d4 line and then somehow I started looking at other lines And I got all confused jumbled it all up and and then I was probably worse, but immediately Eduard played h3 and after that he was still probably okay, but it was very hard to play and he was already short of time So it was it was quite nice, you know to win today obviously with black and now I guess I'll play a playoff Right now in such a situation where you've got the black pieces and you know you've got to go for the win How do you decide on your openings give us some insights on that? What kind of position do you aim for and did you get it today? Well, I played something solid It's you know, I mean there's there's not a lot you can do against players who are probably I would say 2,600 plus I mean you can't you can't just play something stupid or else you'll you'll lose I mean who you find case in point, but anyway yeah, so You know you play something solid You hope maybe your opponent plays something a little bit aggressive or something where you have have an idea And you kind of just let the game flow and I think It's much easier to do that with white than with black in a muslin situation But still you know you just try to keep the game going keep keep some dynamics in the position and and it seemed seemed to work Almost perfectly today for me. I well you see you are someone who really enjoys playoffs and see it seems to be a thing How are you feeling going into the playoffs confident? Yeah, I mean I think when I won in 2008. I think I was also second third I think I had to play two tiebreak matches to win against boo and in the final one So obviously quite nice. I think I'm playing you and I beat him in the millionaire chest in a tiebreak as well So certainly I'm very familiar with him, but but obviously he's a very strong player and we'll see what happens Preparation or just gonna land up fresh on the board. Um, I'll prepare something I think because also I think if I beat him then I have to play right away against Anton So I'll have to prepare something but you know, it's it's a playoff and I you know I tied for first so regardless of what happens. I'm I'm quite happy with the result Right. Well, we're really excited to watch you in action. Good luck. Thank you
