In this interview, we discuss:

- Common mistakes she sees club players making in their improvement journey (and strategies to avoid them.)
- How to set expectations for an OTB tournament so that you don’t get frustrated or disappointed if the event doesn’t go your way.
- Why she dislikes when coaches scold their students for mistakes and how it’s harmful to their development as chess players.
