Interview with Elina Danielian |
|
Saturday, 28 July 2012 |
Dear Elina, it is great to see you once again in Armenia, in the comfort
of Jermuk. How do you feel the atmosphere of Jermuk affects the quality
of your chess?
It is always a pleasure to play in one’s homeland, but at the same time a
greater feeling of responsibility. In Jermuk, while the nature is
beautiful and the air is so crisp, it nevertheless takes me a few days
to acclimate. To play chess at an altitude of 2000 meters is not so
easy.

Dear Nadezhda, this is not your first time in Armenia; we had the pleasure of seeing you in Jermuk in 2010. Please share with us your impressions of Jermuk and comment if you will how you feel here.
Two years ago I was in Jermuk with my sister, and without a second though I’d visit again. I feel wonderful here, considering the climate, the natural beauty, the fresh mountainous air, all of which make me feel good.
