In the interview after the event, GM Farrukh Amonatov said he is very happy to win two consecutive open tournaments: “I am very glad I won one more tournament. It is pleasure, what else to say“. Being asked how he approaches different tournaments and games Amonatov answered: “In my opinion, if you are playing well never mind who is playing against you. You can play against a super GM and show a good result, and next round you can play against a weak player and lose the game. So it all depends on you. I am always trying to show my best“. See the interview below.
