 Iranian superstar Parham Maksudlow with a 19 move sensational win with the white pieces. He joins us in our studio to tell us how it happened. Parham, first time in Gibraltar, a 2 out of 2 start with a stream rolling win today in 19 moves. Pleased with it? I don't remember when I won so easily and so quick. It was I think first time happened and first time in Gibraltar even and I'm very happy. I'm super happy that my preparation worked very well. It was quite an interesting opening actually. Was a lot of it part of your preparation? Okay, I know after G6, after G6, I know that E5 is the most critical move. After Bg7, RQ1, here I was expecting 9 out of 6 and B4, 9 out of 5, B5, D4, CD4, B6 and something like that. So this was part of your preparation? I remember something like this. Nd5, Nd5, B5, D4, CD4, B6, I remember something like this and I have good compensation for white. Were you surprised with F6 here? Yes. Was this a surprise? Yes, I think if I don't play B4, I'm worse. So this was my only try but okay, this was a good try because if Nd5, then D4 and I think it gives very good compensation to white. Maybe the engine can find some very difficult defend but practically it's very hard for black. But also a move like F6 does look strange in the opening. The other moment which was quite interesting was here after Kh8. So black probably wants to push your knight with D6 and I thought Qb6 is a very nice idea. I think the best idea is Qb6 because okay, don't let this bishop and rook move and not any useful move for black and I think just simply over. Param, we're going to ask you to the literature so that the board is clear. And here even your knight is safe because now D6 is not possible anymore and you totally dominate black's pieces. I think Qb6 is a very big domination. Yeah, this is a really beautiful move and in the end what happened? Just explain to our viewers that after Bf6? Yeah, I think he was expecting Qc7 in any move. So he took with rook but after rook f6, just over. And no place for the rook. So the point is that if the rook even goes back after Nd4, you just go Nd6 and then the g6 pawn falls. And the queen, actually you lose the queen because Qd8 you have Nf7 and for Qe7 you have Ng6. Qf6, yes. Okay, he missed Nd4 but if Bf6, I think Qc5 just is a win because Qf8 is coming, Bf7, Qe7 and Nd4, Nd6 is coming and just no move for black. Yeah, the position looks really good even if he would not have blundered with rook f6. So happy with today's game. Very happy. And now this is your first time in Gibraltar. It's early days but what are your impressions about playing here? Okay, I like the place very much. I think it's very beautiful and okay, I think oxygen is very high to think and I like it very much. I think this will be a good tournament. And what about Ali Reza? Are you following his play in Tata and Vaikanze? Yes, yes. Okay, we missed him in our national team but I hope he can get very good results and very good achievements in his life. Yeah, that's very sweet to hear because I'm sure it must be a little disappointing to not have him. Because our national team with Ali Reza was much stronger. Even a chance for maybe a medal, no? Yes, but what to do? All right, very sweet of you to still wish him all the best and we wish you all the best for the remaining round. Thank you for joining us.
