True to Sheva's predicament, though, in the next few rounds, Anna really came out of her shell, crushing all of her opponents like she was a complete beast. Well, not everyone, per se, but the girl managed to hold her own ground, keeping herself in the race to grab the number one spot in the tournament even after receiving such a bad defeat in the first round.
In the second round, the girl really showcased why she was the youngest player in the country who earned the WGM title by beating her predecessor, Irene, in a crazy, chaotic game. Both players went all out, playing a beast mode where they were in for each other's blood. Anna was eager to win to keep her chance in the tournament open, while Irene wanted to build up her momentum after the draw earlier.
