The hardest game was with Lena Kamendrovsky. I always found it hard to play, maybe Lena inconvenient for me, the player, or maybe just setting yourself up the wrong way. Now I'm flying to Vladivostok for the training camp before the world team championship, and then the training camp at home and preparation for the European games, which will be held in Minsk at the end of June. I hope to show the best result there."
