May-22-12		dagwood2005: "As of January 2011 she was basically half of Shulman's age. That's creepy." Um, no. Actually Shulman is a hero--a role model for men everywhere.

May-23-12		diceman: <whiteshark: Viktorija Ni learned chess at the age of 7 from her mother, Polina, who is an Expert.> So Ni didn�t learn on daddy�s knee.

Mar-10-13		Jim Bartle: I think I've found the knights that say "Ni!"
