She's incredible - that was the initial reaction of the Croatian competitors when they heard Anastasia's score from the Russian CSWC qualifying event, which took place just a few hours before the one in Croatia. And they are true - Anastasia Arsenova is amazing slow smoker - the best in Russia
Anastasia is generally the favorite since she is very motivated, well-trained, skilled, and competitive. She is one of the best players in the game, and I believe it is only a matter of time until she becomes World Champion, maybe even this year. She presents a genuine threat to Hauke Walter, one of the favorites to win the World Championship.- Marko Bilic, CSWC Founder
