 Pia, you drew with who you found a very exciting game. Are you satisfied with the result? Yes, I'm very very satisfied. I played with them you found many times and I have lost many many times In some draws and I won one blitz game, but it has been normally tough for me And I was playing with black also. No, I was very happy also because I thought the opening was fine But then I miscalculated the undermost estimated her attack And then I just thought I was lost but then I find this idea king FA to keep the game going and I don't know if she had something Winning there or something very good for her, but the way it went it was it was fine for me It seemed a position where there were a lot of dynamic opportunities for both of you Were you ever afraid at any point that this could be worse? Yes, no, I was very afraid when she played queen h3, so I guess e4 was probably mistake I needed to go castling. I need to develop My my pieces and put the king away and she takes rook a8 b4 c3 and maybe take an e5 This is what I needed to do and I maybe it's it's it's unclear or something But the way I played it was just very very dangerous for me Dangerous but interesting just like we love it now tell me one thing Were you surprised with you founds choice of in the Sicilian to capture queen d4 instead of the usual knight d4? No, I wasn't because she has played it before she played lots of different things and Okay, queen take d4 is one of them mainly she maybe takes with the knight, but but no I wasn't surprised with a player like you found who has such a wide repertoire and it's it's it's a challenge to prepare against her Yes, but it's also very nice to get the chance to play with her So in one way I was just very pleased and I'm also very pleased when I can't and find some fine moves Some ideas and no, so it was no it was very very exciting, but I'm very happy also right now Yeah, I know that you and your fun are also very good friends Very very good friends. So it's kind of like a little nerve-wracking to play against if it's not the same You know when you're playing against a friend So how do you deal with that when you have to sort of fight each other on the board? No, actually, I normally like to play against friends I don't mind that because you know your friends and then you play at the board and you know It will be a long very hard along. I don't know, but it will be a hard Struggle so no, I don't mind that at all. And then when it's over you just go back to being friends. Of course Right now Pia, you are someone who has been at the chess festival since its very first edition You've been coming here for 15 years. This festival is like a tradition for you and your family What how have you made this your home? What is it that you love about it so much? Yes, no, it's the tournament is yes fantastic for me. It's the it's the best tournament of the year It's really really wonderful so many people coming here everyone enjoying it and enjoy it also very much And we have seen though. Okay, the whole family of us We have seen the tournament grow and become better and better every year. So no, it's just Yes, fantastic to be here every year that actually gets me to my next question that Because you've been here from the very start and now we are in the 15th year of the trade by Gibraltar Chess Festival How has the tournament evolved in your house ice? How has it changed over the years? It has become of course much stronger and much bigger the first year when we played It was about I think it was about 50 players. They were not very many women players They're very few. I think they actually only were two or but very few so It so of course it has been a big change, but it's very nice to see the tournament growing and Becoming better also all the ladies coming and I think that's really very nice what Brian's doing It's very very important to support women chess Because tournaments are so much nicer than when you have women who play but you need to support women because otherwise They cannot keep on playing. They cannot be professional players Right, you're absolutely right about that Pia and we love having you Anna and your husband You're the tournaments the tournament cannot be complete without the three of you Thank you very much all the best for the remaining rounds. Thank you so much
