Smiling, simple and modest, but full of a very special energy, with a penetrating look and a mind that is always a couple of moves ahead... This is our interlocutor Laura Unuk, a 22-year-old international chess master who is leading the way among female chess players in Slovenia. . Superior, but always convinced that she can do more and better - a virtue that drives her forward and keeps her from resting on her laurels.
The desire for continuous progress and improvement is something that Huawei also constantly strives for in its development, and as a result of its continuous development, it is here the new Huawei WATCH GT 3 Pro smart watch, which you can win in a nice challenge for chess lovers. Check below where and how to participate in the new watch challenge Huawei WATCH GT 3.
Laura, why chess at all? How does a young woman land in this sport?
Haha, well, with me, you could say that the chess board with the pieces was already placed in my cradle, because my grandfather is an avid chess player and he is also the one who introduced me to this royal game. I was always fascinated by beautiful figures and loved watching my grandfather play, so at the age of eight I wanted to get to the bottom of this game. It's amazing how with one move the course of the entire game can completely change, a moment of disorientation and victory, which is already smiling at you, disappears in an instant! My father and brother also play chess - I went to chess competitions in Ljubljana with them.
Besides chess, do you have any other hobbies, maybe sports?
Chess IS a sport! You probably don't know, but with a game of chess you can taste up to 6000 calories! To maintain good focus and concentration, physical activity is also recommended for all chess players. I go to the gym myself most of the time, even most of the hotels where I stay during tournaments have their own fitness center, so this kind of exercise is the most practical choice. Lately I have also become addicted to tennis! Otherwise, I play it completely amateurishly, but I really enjoy it and thoroughly clear my mind.
Tell us a little more about the prize game you prepared for your followers on your Instagram profile.
I am so happy about the collaborations that are written on my skin. I just changed my smartphone and got a new one Huawei P50 Pro, which impresses me with an insanely powerful camera. But the possibility was offered the new Huawei WATCH GT 3 Pro smart watch gift to one of my followers. So we prepared a giveaway on my Instagram profile, where I took a photo of an almost finished chess game - I'll leave it up to my followers to decide which move to use to reach MAT! Among the correct answers, I will choose a winner who will receive a new smart watch from the Huawei WATCH GT 3 Pro series.
Can you draw any parallels between chess and technology?
Chess is a game that is more than 1400 years old, there are already 101 digital versions of this game, but there is still a charm in the physical pieces, the chessboard in front of you, the ticking of the clock that measures the time of the players - something digital cannot replace. I practically grew up surrounded by technology and in an almost entirely digital age, but I always chose classic, analog watches. The Huawei WATCH GT 3 Pro convinced me with the harmony with which it captured the look of the analog dial and combined it with the latest technology. Such a powerful, smart watch, captured in a classically elegant timepiece that is also a beautiful piece of jewelry. I can say that it combines the best of both worlds.
But how does such a mind relax? How do you banish the black and white fields from your mind?
Oh yeah, my eternal problem is that I overanalyze my moves. Especially the less fortunate ones, and I spend a lot of time dealing with them. In the evenings, therefore, I like to escape to the world of movies, or divert my mind to the world of numbers - lately I've been enjoying sudoku.
