    Q&A Session – , 1.5.2020 Lecture (Ukraine) 'S GM Anna Muzychuk

    GM Anna Muzychuk's (Ukraine) lecture, 1.5.2020 – Q&A Session Transcription: Yevgeny Levanzov Editing: Nir Klar First Topic – Being a Chess Player Esther: What helped you advance in chess and win throughout your career? Anna Muzychuk: There were a number of things that helped me advance in chess and it's actually a combination of several factors. First of all, I started playing at a very early age – when I was two years old! Also, from a very young age my parents invested a lot of time and worked very hard to help me obtain achievements. Another thing is the motivation you get when you start winning tournaments. I started winning Eur opean Championships for kids from the age of 6, the motivation boosts you continue working hard and win more competitions. Last but not least, If you like chess you just keep going. In other words, it's a combination of great passion and love for the game, hard work, and successes from the beginning of my career that pushed and motivated me. These are the 3 main things, in my opinion. Inbar: Do you consider yourself to be more of an attacking/tactical or more of a positional player? Anna Muzychuk: I addressed this earlier in a way. I am a more active player. I do not like playing defensively. I aim for an interesting game, initiative, combinations, attack, etc. Keren: Who is the player you most associate with his/her style of play? Anna Muzychuk: Maybe I'm wrong, but among the modern players I think that my style is most similar to the one of Fabiano Caruana.
