Robert Fontaine and his video producer Gérard Demuydt have castled from
the World Championship in Moscow to the Women's Rapid and Blitz in Batumi. They
are producing video reports and interviews after each round for the French chess
magazine Europe Echecs. We are grateful
to receive these reports and that they include interviews with players and personalities.
In this video Anotaneta Stefanova says: "It was a very difficult tournament. The result may look easy, but okay, I was quite lucky, first against Zhao Xue – I had a very bad position and she blundered...
... and then against Katya Lahno, when I was the most lost in my life, and she blundered mate in one..."
"I cannot complain about my luck in this tournament – obviously everything was working for me..."
The video ends with scenes from a dolphin show
