Jun-28-10		Jim Bartle: Great play for Under 10.

Nov-06-12		Abdel Irada: Great play by one side. Black evidently hadn't yet learned of the perils of going pawn-bunting while one's king is insecure. She also evidently wasn't familiar with the word "resign."

Nov-06-12		Robed.Bishop: <Abdel Irada: She also evidently wasn't familiar with the word "resign."> Maybe she just didn't learn it from others: B Farhat vs B Muhren, 1994

Nov-06-12		master of defence: What happens after 15...Bxf1?

Nov-06-12		Robed.Bishop: 16. Qxd7#

Nov-06-12		Jim Bartle: 16...Qxd7.

Nov-06-12		TheFocus: You know Barbara gets kidded about that last name of hers. Especially when her position stinks.

Nov-07-12		Abdel Irada: <TheFocus>: At the risk of being obtuse, I don't get your reference. I believe her name is of Arabic origin, and means "delight" or "happiness." It's not clear what that has to do with a bad odor. Unless, of course, you're thinking of the slight similarity of sound between her name and a word used to refer to a gaseous discharge from the bowels.

Nov-07-12		TheFocus: <Unless, of course, you're thinking of the slight similarity of sound between her name and a word used to refer to a gaseous discharge from the bowels.> Yes. But thank you for the Arabic definition.

Nov-08-12		Abdel Irada: Since Farhat grew up in Brazil, where the principal language is Portuguese, and where there are many people of Arabic origin, I very much doubt anyone connected her name to the gaseous discharge. Her first extensive contacts with English-speakers would then have come in adulthood, by which time one might hope that such puerile associations would not find expression in ridicule.
