Honestly, it was so poetic that everything came down to the two best players of the country. Ukraine, represented by Anna Muzychuk, who was a top talent in women's chess and one of the few who managed to cross the 2600 rating threshold, was fighting against Irene, Indonesia's representative, who was also the two-time Asian Chess Champion in the past.
It was as if they had waited for the battlefield to be cleared before finally starting their decisive battle, going for each other's blood.
However, those two didn't feel that this was poetic or even romantic at all. Hell, they were so stressed right now, even secretly cursing inside their hearts. Well… That was at least the case for Anna Muzychuk, as she was under greater pressure here.
