| Mar-24-09 | | percyblakeney: <first in the European Championship for the second time !> And the first time was impressive enough with nine wins, the standard draw against her sister, and one 126-move draw: European Individual Championships (Women) (2007)/Tatiana Kosintseva |

I recoiled a bit to see the word "epithet" applied, thinking it meant a negative description of something, or a swear word or phrase. But then I looked it up, and DCP used the word correctly, that it's meaning can be neutral. Funny how the use of words drifts away from the proper definition. |
