Q: Your most memorable moments from this game happy or even sad?
A: Every victory makes me happy. I don't like to lose.

Q: What improvements would you like to see in the future and what would you suggest to improve things?
A: I have no idea.
Q: What would you recommend to someone who starts the game now? What are the secrets for top performance?
A: You must play a lot of smaller events before taking part in a Major because the level is very high and it's not easy for beginners to play only two games and then go back home, in particular when tournaments are played far away from your place. My secret to play well is to practice, practice and practice again and play a lot of games against stronger opponents.
