” It is very difficult to play at this moment. This year we did not have European Championships and I am missing open tournaments as well. It is hard to play at high level without real matches for months. Against BONDAREVA I had two games to null advantage but at the third game at 9:9 she raised her game. Anastasia started to play tactically better but I was not nervous and I finished the match in good style ” explained ZAHARIA.”I am here to win gold and I hope it will happen.”
