I have never been a professional model; I have had some modeling sessions.

I never cared about modeling. As a model, you're powerless.

Studying is something I really love doing, and I just hope to have enough money for tuition.

My dad sacrificed many things in life for me. He abandoned a very promising and lucrative career of an army officer just so that he could continue helping me with my chess and accompanying me to tournaments.

It's now possible to play and take lessons from any place of the world. The concept of physical distance doesn't exist in the online world, and that is so cool!

A woman can beat any man; it's difficult to imagine another kind of sport where a woman can beat a man. That's why I like chess.
