Unlike both Sheva and Claudia, who were bantering back and forth outside of the hall with ease after they had won their games, Anna wasn't really in a good mood at the table, finding the situation on her board to be pretty much dire. The girl didn't even know how things could go south like this when, in the beginning, she thought that her opponent was going for an easy quick draw.
Right now, Anna was playing on board 2, facing the veteran French player Sophie Millet. Playing with the white piece, the girl was forced into a Petrov Defense by Sophie Millet, and with a lot of exchanges happening pretty early, the game had already entered the endgame phase in just fifteen moves. Then, in the 25th move of the game, both players also exchanged a rook, officially agreeing to enter the endgame phase with the same color bishop.
