  Interview de Maria Manakova (parue sur Chessbase)

  If someone someday stages a contest “Miss Chess World”, WGM Maria Manakova from Moscow will win it many points ahead of the others. Maria was on the top women chess players’ lists for many years – and now she is in TV journalism. Her favorite theme – “Chess and Sex”.

  Maria, in chess you are women’s grandmaster. What about sex ?

  People started to think about me as a specialist in sex because I once said that a woman should be woman all the time – at home, at work and at the chess board. Very often women chess players devote their entire lives to chess. They have no age, no sex. Maybe that’s why my words attracted attention.

  What changes if those clever women also become sexual ?

  If women chess players become more attractive, more sexual, many things will change. Spectators and journalists will pay more attention at them, chess will become more popular. It would be great if in chess we will have someone as popular as Anna Kournikova is in tennis.

  Do your women colleagues support you ?

  Something has changed in their minds during the last years. But most of them aren’t quite ready for the sexual revolution. They think that chess is an intellectual game, and that it shouldn’t became some kind of "merchandise". I don’t think that this is correct. We are not as strong as the male players. So why shouldn’t we cash in on our beauty, don’t you think ?

  Intimacy at the board
  What can you tell us about women chess players’ private lives ?

  Usually there is no private life, or it is far from perfect. Children ? No time ! The same applies to your husband, by the way. Men often have the same problem – that’s why marriages between women and men players are quite common. They play in same tournaments, they prepare together – they even play same openings ! I once saw a classified ad in the newspaper, submitted by a Grandmaster : “Looking for a wife. Elo rating not less then …”. And he found one ! They have a ten-year-old child now.

  Some people say that you often play in tournaments together with your husband, a Yugoslav GM, in order to always have a sexual partner available.

  We play a lot together, and not just chess. Maybe this is the reason why I never won a world championship title. But on the other hand I had a different kind of joy, one that is no less important to me.

  A chess game usually lasts four hours or more – so is there enough time for sex ?

  Yes, although playing chess is really difficult and drains your strength. And if a woman loses, it can take some days for her to get back to normal.

  Maria, do you think if there is any “real men” amongst the GMs ? Kasparov, Kramnik, Karpov ?

  I am attracted to charismatic people. Kasparov definitely takes the lead here. He is a very charismatic man, and his energy has a great effect on everybody who is near him. There is something attractive about Karpov too. But maybe I am a bit perverted ? As for Kramnik, he doesn’t interest me. He is neither bad nor good. When he won the title of world champion he should have offered Kasparov a rematch. He didn’t – he was simply scared. Such men don’t interest me.
