After the Women's World Chess Championship, Anna and her family are vacating in Ukraine. We succeeded in contacting her to ask a couple of quick questions:

Q: Hello Anna, how do you anticipate your first visit to Greece?
A: It a great pleasure to participate in European Club Cup in Kallithea. It is going to be my first visit to Greece and I am very exited about it.
Q: What are your team's ambitions?
A: I am playing for a Belorussian club EPAM. We have a very strong team and I think we have good chances to win medal!

The 2008 ECC will probably be the last practical test for Anna before the Dresden Chess Olympiad that starts on 12th November.
