And it was a rather successful job. However, a few months ago I looked around and realized that I was standing in one place. We sat down and made a joint decision that we need to disperse, and I try something else.

I will come to Moscow for the Kremlin Cup already with my new trainer Dehas. He worked with Steve Darsis and Marina Zanevskaya. I don't want to waste time. Moscow is one of my favorite tournaments, and I want to prepare well for it.
