Just enough to make a show successful

“Even now, it’s still hard for me to believe that the match is lost. There’s nothing good about it, but life goes on. There ain’t no sense in splitting hairs over the scores of classical games and tie-breaker. In the end, there’s only one winner — facts are facts, let’s not fool ourselves”, Vice Women’s World Chess Champion Aleksandra Yuryevna Goryachkina said on the air of the Матч ТВ (Match TV) talk show “Все на Матч!” (“Everyone to the Match!”) on Tuesday. Asked by Elmira Nazimovna Mirzoeva whether or not she could do something more or better, Goryachkina answered: “Unfortunately, or fortunately, I just feel I did everything I could do. Alas, that was not enough. If I think back to three weeks ago, I feel I gave my best, but it was pitifully not enough”.
