 David a draw against Maxime. How did the game go? I Was quite happy with how it went originally. I mean I got some preparation in that I'd been sitting on for a while I thought it was my kind of position where I could slowly maneuver slowly Grind away, but then I don't know I just I was a bit angry at myself for spending so long on the clock and then playing an inaccurate move and suddenly all The tactics worked for him and he was equal at the end. I thought I had to be careful to make the draw So mixed feelings really I was very angry at myself for not playing F3 at some stage But okay, I can't complain. He's a pretty good player He is now you said that you had some prep up your sleeve, but did he seem surprised during the game? Or was he able to deal with it? Yeah, he was able to deal with it quick quicker and more confidently than I expected I mean he said he'd looked at it and he couldn't remember his notes, but Yeah, I kind of realized Early on when he was playing so quickly that he'd seen it before I think maybe through a mutual friend Which I hadn't thought of before the game. So Yeah, I mean he was blitzing confidently even when I thought his position was a bit dodgy. So Yeah, it didn't have the surprise effect it I wanted but Right, but still a pretty pretty decent result and you're playing quite well here You're satisfied with the quality of your games until today until I mean I was feeling really confident and then I don't know why I just kind of had a freeze halfway through the game I thought for 30 40 minutes just on two moves and That was kind of going against my news resolution. So just a bit annoyed at that but in general it's been going, okay Yeah, because you do have a little bit of a problem with time management Is I've seen that often no sure I mean I've been better this year though I think out of the 10 or so games I've played this year I've only been in time trouble once so this was well it was annoying to kind of slip back into my old habits But I'll try Try and keep going getting better right and tonight is the night of the battle of the sexes excited. It'll be fun Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm playing. I mean I was told I was first reserve So if anyone kind of you know slips or breaks an ankle or you know, it just gets too intimidated of those ladies Then I'll yeah sub myself in but now it's fun to watch and I was well It was an honor to be part of it for the last couple years No, I'm definite that you'll be part of it again And how important is the social side of this event of this whole festival for you? I mean that's the reason I keep coming back. That's the reason everyone keeps coming back. I think Yeah, I mean probably the reason you come back to No, it's a lot of fun. It's nice to see familiar faces and it feels like a big family So yeah, that's one of my favorite tournaments of the year and that's the reason why right Well, we'll see you tonight and good luck. No, thank you
