In fact, it wasn't just Anna who was having a good day. Laysa and Medina were on the same boat, currently thriving after following Sheva's suggestion. It seemed that the boy was right; facing an engine-like playing style, it was important to throw a curveball to catch them off guard.
In Laysa's game, everything went beyond everyone's expectations. Well, not everyone, per se. Just Sheva, since the boy was the only one who cared enough to watch the game. However, it was indeed true that he had never thought that Laysa would go down this path.
The opening that she picked for this game was not for the faint-hearted. If usually, anyone with the black piece would go for a stable or even an aggressive approach if they were bold enough, this time, the girl went super passive, going for the knight to the F6 square to respond to her opponent's 1.e4 move.
