Well, time was quite short for them to do any research, so they could only do a little background check before the game began. It turned out that Anna's opponent, Regita Desyari, was also from the same generation as Dita Karenza and Evi Yuliani. It seemed those generations birthed so many talented players who were forced to go to the educational path since chess wasn't really a good career path in their era.
This was also another person who was saved by Sheva, as his presence storming into the community brought so much benefit to the grassroots community. At least, now, so many big names and companies are willing to sponsor their favorite players or clubs, letting them play abroad to gain name and reputation outside.
As for Claudia's opponent, the girl was even more ridiculous here. She was even younger than Claudia, around 13 years old. That was why her rating wasn't really that high. Among the titled players, a rating below 2000 could definitely be considered weak here.
