Aleksandra Kosteniuk lost her title!

“We are all human, no robots.”Anastasia Karlovich-
What happened in the last match?

Alexandra Kosteniuk- In the second game with classic control I had a great position, but I almost managed to lose it. And in the rapid, I played unsuccessfully with white, and with black I stayed good, even won. I saw the winning option, but decided to play more solid, and eventually lost.

Karlovich- What is the reason that at the decisive moment the nerves do not stand the pressure?

Kosteniuk- It is difficult to say at once. Everything must be analyzed in a relaxed atmosphere. I do not think that immediately after the defeat the reasons that I will find for that would be fair. It is necessary to take some time, to analyze the games to come to some more or less correct conclusion. So I will work on my mistakes.
