Oct-01-04  percyblakeney: Bosboom-Lanchava has had some good results in the Isle of Man tournament, beating GM:s Ian Rogers (2588) and Viorel Iordachescu (2633): http://www.bcmchess.co.uk/monarch20...

  cu8sfan: I see now that <User Profile: percyblakeney > has already linked to that chessbase article in the The Kibitzer's Café. It's been a long time indeed since we've had an article like that.
Oct-11-04  percyblakeney: I think I beat you with 30 seconds, <cu8sfan>, but let's call it a draw. :)

  cu8sfan: Draw offer accepted. Maybe you beat me 'cus I was too absorbed "reading" the new chessbase masterpiece. (-;
Oct-11-04  percyblakeney: And with such a small advantage for me I think it's better to agree to an early draw anyway. :)
Oct-11-04  acirce: Speaking of which I'll soon be off to play someone who happens to be a http://www.chessfighter.com/ signatory.. So don't expect me back too soon. :-)
Oct-11-04  poktirity: Good luck acirce :|
Oct-11-04  Swindler: <acirce> Get a won position and then offer a draw, that should confuse him... ;-)

  cu8sfan: Yes, good luck! These guys are cool. I'm thinking about joining them!
Oct-11-04  acirce: Well, as it turned out I successfully switched strategy. Instead of a quick draw I played a quick win...

Wikipedia has a nice picture of her:

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Bo...

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afbeel...

(: ♗B :)

P.S. I'm no authority on this, but isn't everything at Wikipedia public domain?

Oct-13-04  patzer2: I saw WGM and IM Lanchava's interview and photoshoot at Chessgames.com and she is an attractive young woman with an impressive resume of Chess accomplishments.

I understand she is a happily married wife and moter, while still finding the time to improve her chess by obtaining the WGM titles and an IM norm. Very impressive and commendable!

In any event, I wish Tea and her family all the best in both her Chess career and private life as a good wife and mother. Hope the photo shoot and publicity is good for her career and Chess in general.

Aug-25-05  EmperorAtahualpa: I understand my fellow countryman Harold Bosboom very well for marrying this gem. Atractive AND intelligent women like Tea Lanchava are just terribly rare in the Netherlands!
