GM Dronavalli Harika is plotting her strategy for the Chess Olympiad — to be held in Chennai from July 28 — at home (in a few weeks she will be a mother) far away from her teammates.
“We are all eagerly awaiting what is arguably one of the toughest tournaments. The preparations are going well and the focus is on giving our best,” Harika told The Hindu.
“I don't know how it will turn out. Mentally it is not so different but physically it is totally different and I am trying to not let it affect me,” the three-time World championship bronze medallist said.
