'Okay, this should be a winning endgame for me… I just need to calm down, take a deep breath, and calculate everything slowly. I still have fifteen minutes on the clock, enough to not rush things up… Come on…' Irene muttered, trying to hype herself up.
Currently, she was playing against Alina Kashlinskaya, the best women's player from Poland. Alina was definitely not a new opponent for Irene. They both came from the same generation, and while European and Asian players didn't meet each other quite often, they still fought a few times at the high-level women's tournament, such as the World Rapid & Blitz Championship or even the Women's World Cup in the past.
