 Mickey a nice win with the white pieces against a vengeance the opening. How did it go? The a4 idea is quite rare here Yeah, I played it before I don't really know You know she started thinking that she played this b5 move which looked Well, very risky at least it may looked pretty bad to me. Actually I don't know. Maybe she had some chances to get back into it after that, but in the end I managed to win pretty easily Right now yesterday you beat who you fan who is the number one player from China and today Another player from China seems like you're quite on a it's been a really good start for you Yeah, I got a double white win. I wasn't well, I would have been happy to be one of them, but it's great to beat them both It's nice to win a game a bit quickly as well. I had already three games over six hours So a shorter game was welcomed today with a good result yesterday was quite a marathon as well Yeah, I don't know I mean I was going to give it up as a draw But then I was sitting there for a while and I was sort of noticing this this end game with the extra night I mean it looks like it should be a draw because blacks pawns are so far advanced, but it's Very very complicated and then I realized that practically it's very very difficult for black at least Right very enterprising play from you Mickey throughout the tournament as of now and just coming back to today's game Now when you played a4 and she goes b6 this idea with a5. Did you feel after b5? It was completely I mean you were very happy with the position because it seemed after the d5 pawn is gone It was all but over No, I mean I b5. I was very surprised. I thought it looked you know really bad and Yeah, I mean it was a bit strange. She played b6 quickly I think she intended to play Queen c7 Which is another common move and maybe she mixed the move order because I don't think she was happy after But I mean a5 maybe Bishop b7 or b takes a5 I mean there are the moves that b5 the pawn on a6 is really really strong That's that's the big problem and also I have the idea to play rook a5 very often So these two factors, you know really I mean otherwise it might be a great position But these two additional themes make it really unpleasant for her for black Right now Mickey just give us a little insight into how the preparation works for you when you're playing against someone like vengeance who's having a great tournament, but definitely over the white pieces you Want to try to win this game the psychological aspect of the preparation and how would you prepare for such a round? No, I didn't prepare so much No, I mean I really didn't prepare so much today I didn't consider she would play the French at all more or less I checked my French notes like for one minute because I saw she started playing recently But she played in so few games. I thought probably she would play. Well, okay I thought she would play something else maybe Maybe Petro for Sicilian. She was playing a lot. So I thought probably she would choose one of these two options, so so all my preparation time was wasted, but there wasn't too much of it Right now making my last question that I want to ask you is that why is it in the chess world that you're known as the spider? Well, I don't know a very strong player so that about me once so I took it as a compliment But my wife is not very fond of spiders I can tell you All right, well, we wish you all the best for the remaining rounds. Thank you very much. Thanks a lot
