BENGALURU: In an interview with HT, the world No. 6 spoke about struggling with motivation, training without engines for the tournament and her seven-year-old daughter winning a gold medal the same day.
Excerpts:
You started off by losing in the first round. How would you explain the remarkable turnaround?
For the past 8-9 months, whatever tournament I played in, was a failure. I was feeling very low and even considered quitting. Then I told myself that even if I quit, I should not quit like a loser. I wanted to prove what I could achieve. So, I was very ambitious before the tournament and trained hard for the entire month.
What is your approach towards rapid chess, how much does the preparation differ?
