The World Cup semi-final is over, but its impact doesn't spread as quickly as in football or tennis - in chess, every game, every decision, every mistake remains in mind for a long time. As you know, our compatriot Javokhir Sindarov will play against Wei Yi from China in the final. The clash between these two skilled young men has already generated considerable interest among the chess community.
Having successfully finished the semi-final, Wei Yi openly and sincerely expressed his opinion in an interview with journalists after the match. There was a feeling of fatigue, a sigh of relief, and traces of a game over which a lot of work had been done.
One of the journalists asked him:
"You seem a bit tired after the argument. How will the preparation for the final go? After all, you're on the verge of a decisive match?"
Wei I calmly replied:
"I was lucky in the semifinals, and I don't deny it. I'm very happy about this. When I came to the competition, my main goal was to qualify for the Candidates Tournament. I've passed this stage and now I can focus on the final."
In his opinion, the match against Sindarov will be very tough.
"Javohir is talented, strong, and is in excellent form. He is very strong not only in classical chess, but also in rapid and blitz. Therefore, I cannot say that the final game will be easy," said the Chinese chess player.
