< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-26-06    percyblakeney: <former Woman World Champion Skripchenko> She's never been World Champion and probably never will either, looking at how she's soon passing 2400 going in the wrong direction... Jul-26-06    doremi: Awsome combination by Atalik (black) mating former woman ***European*** champion Skripchenko Jul-26-06    percyblakeney: <doremi> OK :-) Jul-27-06    e4Newman: dembo with a perfect sreak of draws muzychuk-dembo would have been neat to see anna attack down the a-file Jul-27-06    ahmadov: There is either a problem with the relay or Atalik is one piece down. Jul-29-06    cu8sfan: After 5 rounds, Monika Socko 's husband, Bartosz Socko is in first in the Master tournament. Ekaterina Polovnikova-Atalik 's husband, Suat Atalik is 28th. Jul-30-06    Octavia: Pia Cramling won again (6th rd)! Socko & Dembo are still playing in a same B endgame.If they draw Pia will be 1 pt ahead. Jul-30-06    bob000: Dembo looks like she has a won position. Jul-30-06    cu8sfan: No draws today, and I scored 3-3 in the prediction contest! The men's tournament on the other hand is a desaster for me... Jul-31-06    Octavia: I wonder why Pia agreed a =. Did she think her position was lousy? Jul-31-06    percyblakeney: Cramling is sole leader and had black, probably didn't want to take any risks... Aug-01-06    Octavia: superior game by Pia today. Yelena lost her c p & after that it was just a matter of technique! Aug-01-06    Caissanist: < I wonder why Pia agreed a =. Did she think her position was lousy?> I'm sure she was pacing herself with black, the day before her game with white against the player in second place. Looks like it was a wise move. Aug-01-06    Caissanist: <No offense to Pia Cramling, but in that picture she looks a little like the "House Mother" next to those young players.> Looks like Mommy is giving the little girls quite a spanking. Aug-02-06    Octavia: <in that picture> she looks just like Carlsen has looked ever since he was 1st= in the Nor championship! He's morose because he thought he oughta win it outright. She's morose, cause she used to play & do well in mixed company (mainly men). However, i think its good that she's given these youngsters a few lessons. Even 10 years ago, a women's comp was not very strong. But now they're getting stronger all the time, which can only be good. So, winning this will be good for Pia & if its a piece of cake - all the better! Aug-02-06    Octavia: Pia = today & if she does the same tomorrow, she'll be at least 1st=. But I hope she'll win tomorrow - just to show those youngsters! Aug-02-06    percyblakeney: Cramling has already won Biel (6.5/9 as compared to second placed Socko's 5/9), so a draw in the last round wouldn't be too surprising... Aug-02-06    JYMMI: Tomorrow we will have Dembo X Muzychuk 3rd place decision... Aug-03-06    Octavia: Congratulations to Pia Cramling! How does it affect her grading? I didn't see anything about that on the official site. Aug-03-06    Caissanist: Unfortunately this wasn't a very strong tournament, or at least not a very high-rated one; most of the world's top women played in the North Urals Cup instead. It looks like she'll gain about 8 points. Aug-03-06    JYMMI: http://www.bielchessfestival.ch/200... tournament photos Aug-03-06    WannaBe: Need more photos of Ms. Muzychuk, and Ms. Skripchenko =) Aug-03-06    wallytherhino: the little house wife won a tournament. Aug-03-06    aw1988: What? Aug-04-06    JYMMI: <WannaBe: Need more photos of Ms. Muzychuk, and Ms. Skripchenko =)> Ah! Lol! I knew you were going to say that...Anna Muzychuk :) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing>
