Baku. Kenan Hasanov â€“ APA-Sport. â€œI wanted to be the winner of Grand Prix but became the second. I had an opportunity to succeed. Nevertheless, I didnâ€™t play so badly in the competitionâ€, said Azerbaijani Teimour Radjabov while commenting on his performance in Grand Prix second stage held in Sochi, Russia.
The 21-aged stated that two defeats hindered him to become the champion.
â€œI played more aggressive and risky than other attendees in result of which I had 5 wins and two defeats. I could have avoided these defeats. I could have at least drawn both encounters. The desire to win overwhelmed me and in result I took the second place. I have two more chances to become a championâ€, he said.
Radjabov was the second best player of Grand Prix with 8 points. Levon Aronian of Armenia who scored 8.5 points won the competition.
