 So I'm a good start today's game with the black pieces seemed like a clean win. Oh, no I mean, I hope it was a clean win. It certainly felt messy. I wasn't always sure what was going on After D takes C5 Bishop takes C5 E3 Knight takes E3. It's just messy. I mean, I'm guessing the computer will say blacks better I mean, he does have material up and stuff But I was just I saw these ghosts with 94 Queen g4 and horrible things happening, but I think once he went 92 Queen g5 it's already starting to turn in my favor and When he played Queen b3, I think this loses to just Queen takes b5, but Queen b1. I couldn't bust at least not at the board I mean, maybe I'm winning somehow, but I didn't see it He also I think if he had played e3 instead of D takes c5 I think white's definitely not worse there, but I was happy enough with my play Right now you were here last in 2010 you were telling me and now you're back This is your first time in Gibraltar as a grandmaster. What brings you back after so many years? Well It's for a while. I was in school. So I couldn't really play because it was conflicting with the school year and then Last year, I guess I could have played and I chose not to the year before I was going to play actually But I got an invite to like and say whichever left and Stuart was nice enough to let me play that instead So yeah, it's just been a long time I guess the four years of school the one why can say and then one time? I chose not to but I'm certainly glad to be back. It's really nice here early days But have you had a look around how do you find it till now? Well, I went to the rock the day before the Herman started and that was awesome I'm definitely enjoying it more now than I what I did then. I mean at the time. I was just like 18 or something I didn't really know what I was doing I didn't have anyone to go around take care of me So I kind of just stayed in the room and like and I played decent chess I suppose but I didn't really have much fun But so far here. I'm enjoying myself more having better food. I got to go to the rock, you know and Well, there's a lot of runs to go, but I think I'm showing pretty decent form so far a big result of the Olympiad to the US team as well in Baku. How's life changed after that? Not as much as I would have liked. I would like you know get invited to the White House and all that But that certainly didn't happen But you know it's certainly nice to have another gold medal in my trophy case at home Now you also heard that you were working with Magnus for the World Championship. How was that as an experience? Well, obviously I can't comment too much on it. I can't comment on it specifically what I was doing But it was really eye-opening to work with him He has a reputation sort of for being pretty lazy and it's somewhat deserved But I think people also underestimate just how much he works and the quality of his preparation He probably doesn't put as many sheer hours in his other people But one he's really focused on chess He's very driven and he produces a lot in a short amount of time and well I certainly learned a lot from it But yeah, I probably shouldn't comment more than that. Well, thanks for that And this is your first event of the year your expectations are how important is it for you? Well, it's certainly nice to play well in the first event and there's a lot of prize money in this one So I'd like to do well, but Ultimately, you know, even if I crash and burn this event or if I win it either way I'm the same distance from 2800 and that's the ultimate goal So really I'm just trying to play good chess challenge myself as much as I can and Yeah, the rest will just come. We wish you all the very best. Thank you very much. Thanks much
