In reality, though, playing against Marina Brunello was not as difficult as Sheva thought it would be. Well, it might be because after playing against a heavy hitter like Mads Andersen and Praggnanandhaa, his confidence soared, so that he felt anyone below those two would be manageable. However, it worked, as he managed to beat the woman pretty comfortably.
Their game lasted approximately one and a half hours, and no complications arose during that time. Playing with white, Sheva pulled the Sicilian Defense Alapin Variation and confronted the woman head-on, dragging the game into a wild territory where both players were trying to kill each other directly.
