02/05/2011 – Six players will represent Estonia at the World Individual Championships in Rotterdam in May. The leading player and coach is Vallot VAINULA. Coach VAINULA introduced us with the goals for Estonian team. “At individual Championships many things depend on the draw. Our minimum objective is to win qualification group. Main draw will be great challenge. From last four World Championships I managed to reach the top in the qualification groups for 3 times. Two times I also won group of winners group. First time that was enough to be listed in the main table. Second time that was not enough due larger number of qualification groups and one loss later. So main objective and success will be to repeat my own best result ” said Vallot VAINULA

Second Estonian player is Aleksandr SMIRNOV . His objectives are as high as Vallot’s explained us coach:” Aleksandr never won a qualification group. To achieve the objective he needs to fight 2-3 steps further. But winning the qualification group will be big achievement already.”

Toomas LIBENE is still junior. He will play at Championships for a first time and it is important for him gain experience. If he wins at least one match it will be good result.

In Women’s Event will play leading Estonian player Tatjana TSISTJAKOVA who has the same objectives like Vallot VAINULA. Karin LINDMAE hopes she will negotiate the qualifications successfully whilst for Diana ROGUSHINA this will be premiere. Her goal is to try to win some match.
