Only one grandmaster, showing an absolute result on Moscow Open, it is the Russian chess player Marina Romanko. In the sixth round, she played Black with Georgian Nino Batsiashvili, beautifully attack-extinguishing sacrifice. After the end of the game Marina almost scurried for the exit. It was necessary to remember athletics trainings to catch up the leader of the tournament.

- Marina, I congratulate you on a beautiful victory. Tell us a little about the game …
-  Really everything was very interesting, and I really attack-extinguishing sacrifice. But initially the opponent had problems in the Opening. At once she made the wrong move, having simply presented me a pawn. After that my position began untwined and I should leave a material to take control of an initiative. To my mind, I had to take away a castle at a stroke, having couple of pawns in reserve. But this option wasn't pleasant to her.

- How do you managed to receive five pawns for a figure at once?
- It is difficult to explain. At first she missed one pawn, then another, and then I already won the following. After advantage became overwhelming, it was necessary only to show not the most difficult technique.

- Six of six is while absolute result. Somehow specially prepared for this tournament, after all last year you won Moscow Open …
- Simply I try to give all the best as much as possible in each game. For a duel with Nino prepared especially carefully.

- Why?
- Well, if before the competitor considerably conceded me in a rating, but the Georgian grandmaster outstrips me. By the way, in the first rounds, I admit honestly, I specially provoked rivals. I did moves with a trap. And almost always it worked. It was now necessary to win positional. Two years ago I already played with Nino and lost.

- Are you happy with today's quality of the game?
- It is difficult to me to estimate, I can tell that I am very glad to score point. I can tell you that if last year, I simply played and enjoyed, now carefully prepared. I set the purpose to myself to play at good level this year.

- Do you often play against men?
- Not as often as I want it, but, in principle, any complexes about it I don't feel. I watched the last tournament in Wijk aan Zee. I pleased as Hou Yifan three times won men with Black.

- Do you have one task now - a victory in Moscow Open?
- No, I try for myself; I want to show that game which would suit me. I decided that else I can play at high level.

- Do you training much?
- It is no more, than earlier, but there was a good psychological spirit.

- Where do you put up?
- In «Turist» hotel, five minutes far from the playing hall.

- How do you recreate after the game?
- I walk twice a day on the Botanical garden.

- Do you walk alone or with a coach?
- With the coach.

- And who helps you so successfully?
- I won't tell, Marina laughs loudly and ask to let her go …
