Favorite game is Smart Casino
Inna Druz, whose biography is described in the article, entered the sports version of the game ChGK when she was barely 12 years old. Such a young age of the player has become a kind of record. She first sat down at a table in an elite club at the age of 15, and this is also a record! The girl is fineremembers his first outing in the 1994 Winter Series. Then she was a member of the team of Alexei Blinov and immediately received a red jacket as a reward, which meant that from now on she was an “immortal” member of the club.
For many years she played for the team of her father Alexander Druz in the sports version of the games. It was in this team that the girl won the World ChGK Championship in 2002 in Baku.
Druz Inna Alexandrovna, whose personal life and work does not prevent her from playing the intellectual casino twice a week, received the Crystal Owl according to the results of the 2003 Winter Games. Then she was a member of the team of Ales Mukhin. Team: Mukhin, Novikov, Lewandovsky, Kislenkova, Sukhachev and Druz won the final by 4 points (6:2 in favor of experts).

Nominated for Best Question of the Year Award in 2007.
The girl says that everyone who enters the elite club is close friends with each other and beyond, meeting on holidays and just in their free time.
She declares with all responsibility that there is no envy and resentment among the members of the intellectual casino regarding the division of prizes and awards. By the way, players divide all the money won strictly equally, into six.
"Team" assembled by the Creator
So Inna Druz is not talking about the team of 6 people, in which she takes part in the club's games. So she speaks of all Jews, convinced of the existence of Jewish solidarity and mutual assistance,not recognizing geographical boundaries. She speaks with gratitude of Russia, which sheltered her and all her brethren in their eternal exile, but at the same time she emphasizes that all Jews are a separate, “single team… composed by the Creator.”
Point of view
Inna Druz firmly believes that the upbringing of a child should be de alt with from an early age. She cites her parents as an example, who read fairy tales aloud to her from the age of 3 months.
Inna is very grateful to her father and mother, who devoted a lot of time to her education, always found time to communicate.
Believes that computer games, social networks and mobile applications will cripple the younger generation.
Life principles: never lie to anyone, nothing is higher than honor, nobly you need to get out of any situation. Inna claims with full confidence that she will carry her beliefs throughout her life and will always follow them.
Favorite book - "Thus did the wise."
Favorite clothes - trousers, fundamentally does not wear a "little black dress".
The first word is "elephant".

- Question: the cat says "3", the cow says "2", the fish says "0", the dog says "3". What is the horse saying? Answer: The horse says "5". It means that the cat says "Meow!" - 3 letters in a word, the cow says "Moo!" - 2 letters, the fish is silent, the dog says "Woof!" - again 3 letters in the word, and the horse says "Igogo!" - 5 letters.
All proverbs are too stereotypical…
Inna Druz admits in an interview that she doesn't really like folk proverbs. He explains this by the fact that in different life situations each proverb can be interpreted differently, which means that such statements are not very true.
For example, he does not like the proverb "The hair is long, but the mind is short", considering it a relic of male chauvinism and discrimination against women. By the way, Inna emphasizes that in the club “What? Where? When?" never felt neglected by men, but always only warm friendship and understanding.
Also, the heroine of our article does not like the saying "Nature rests on the children of geniuses", but more likes "The apple does not fall far from the tree." This is understandable. Dad is a respected intellectual, erudite and connoisseur, Inna and her younger sister Marina also claim these titles.
I don’t agree that “Eggs don’t teach chicken”, because “Live and learn”, andthe point of view of the younger generation is much fresher and less hackneyed than the views of those who were brought up in Soviet censorship.
