The Grandmaster from Hungary Judit Polgar once again made numerous armies of her fans happy by outplaying the Cuban Leinier Dominguez in tie-breaks.

— Judit, you know, your fans are not very fond of Scandinavian Defense? (Polgar lost twice in this opening  -edit) — Chess is a very complicated game. And in such a tournament where you constantly change time controls and play with one and the same color many times, you can never predict the outcome of every game.

— Was there a single moment in this match when you lost faith in yourself at least for a second? — In the first ten minutes game I felt myself very bad. I had a losing position and I was not happy with myself, but he did not resist my attack.

— You are expected to play against the 6-folded Russian Champion Peter Svidler. What can you say about your opponent? — Just before this World Cup there was a super final of the Russian Championship where Peter has performed brilliantly! The World Cup’s advantage is that when you win in the round you are very happy to qualify to the next one. At the same time you get a stronger opponent with every round. I am looking forward to our match with Peter. We have played many games with him and I always enjoyed it.
