Nalchik, I don’t know why but I always feel happy playing in Nalchik.
What expectations and objectives do you have from this tournament?
To try to play some fine games - nothing more.
All Grand Prix tournaments have rather strong participants. What can you say about the participants of this tournament? Do you think there are favorites?
I had Hou Yifan as favorite but now I am not sure.
Which important traits do you appreciate in people? How do you want to see the world champion?
A skillful player and a kind person.

Yes, of course.
