The Women World Cup Finalist and the Women Blitz World Champion speaks to us about her game today against Kayakiek. Let's have a chat with Katrina Lano. Katrina, you got a pleasant position out of the opening and after Bishop at 7, it looked all over. What happened? Yes, it was already hopeless. So, he met some mistakes before and after Bishop at 7, it was already, the game was over. But he tried to escape with his king, but well, I was a pawn up in exchange up, so it was quite an easy game. An easy game, but where do you think he went wrong? In the very opening, so he played a line, but he didn't know it well, so I had a pleasant position. An energetic game with an exciting finish? Now, you took a buy in round 5. How did you spend your day? Walking, shopping, so very nice, very nice free day for me. Sounds like the perfect preparation for round 6. Yes, of course. It's the best preparation when you don't play chess. And are you satisfied with your play so far? Well, of course, I'm not happy with my game against Adams, and I know what happened, but I will not share it. So, well, I tried to forget it, that's why I took a free day, and now I will play in new tournament. Right, and you're a regular now here at the festival. Give us your impressions about your role-tea. Well, it's a very strong open tournament, and I'm very happy always to play here, and not so easy, of course, because if you play good, you play strong opponents. If you play not good, you play not so strong, but still you have to win, you have to show good results. So, well, not easy, but for me it's a very nice place to be here, and I am enjoying very much. That's really nice to hear, and indeed open tournaments are never easy. Now, Akatrina, you are one of the strongest female players in the world. How do you think tournaments like Gibraltar contribute to women chess? Well, I would like to have more tournaments like Gibraltar for women's chess, because the prizes are really high, and well, it's going to be better this years with a new series of Grand Prix, and we will see how it will go on, but still I believe Fida will try to do the best things for women's chess, so they... At least they promised to pay attention on us. And talking about the new Fida, now there is the big change of the Women World Championship cycle, which is transitioning to the men's format. What's your opinion on that? Okay, let's wait. But, you know, I enjoy this knockout system also. Even I didn't play well before, not only because of my success in the Hunter Man's CIS because this year, but still I think that it's a lot of fun to watch for the spectators when you play Armageddon game. But of course, if you want to know my opinion, maybe it's more serious and it's better to have the same system like in men's competitions, so same knockout is not more World Championship, but World Cup. Like a qualification for the candidates? Yes, so it looks... at least it looks logical to have the same system like men's competitions. Now, talking about you having a great run, you also won the gold in the World Championship Blitz event. You also became a mother recently. Tell us a bit about that. Well, not easy because I became a mother for the first time. And I decided to play in Hunter Man's CIS because it would be already my sort World Championship that I would miss if I declined. So that's why I decided to play it. And I don't know how, but it went well till the end. Not so... of course I wanted to win that, but still it was okay. So of course not easy because first of all I'm a mother and I miss my children, but well, what to do? I also love to play chess and I still hope to have some energy to be a mother and to play chess good. I will see how I will go on in the future. Well, you say not so easy, but you've had a brilliant 2018. What's the secret? I don't know, really. Don't ask me because for me it's something really unexpected because as I told many times I was ready to go home at any point during the World Championship. But well, you know, maybe I wanted... It was so hard at home that I wanted to stay there as long as possible. Because with four children you can't imagine that you don't have one second, one three seconds. So of course for me you're playing to play chess. It was not so hard this time. So I just enjoyed it and it worked well. I'm talking about enjoying. Are you enjoying Gibraltar so far? Yes, of course it's a rest. Of course I'm not preparing a lot, taking some fresh air. Of course it's a rest. So I really enjoy the tournament. You make it sound like a holiday? Yes, it is. It is a holiday. Alright, well we look forward to the rest of your games and hope to have you back in our studio. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you.
