| Akavall: <This is what I wrote: <All she wanted was to win the US Women's Championship> Meaning: Zatonskih didn't want to do it by legal means.> <All she wanted was to win the US Women's Championship> Does not mean
<Zatonskih didn't want to do it by legal means.> |

| Augalv: <So instead of posting ridiculous and baseless accusations like that, you might as well not post at all.> My accussations are based on the following: Zatonskih moved within Irina's time. If Irina had done the same she would have won quite easily considering she had a large time advantage. <Btw, in your opinion, did Irina want to win by legal means only? If so, why did she hit the clock after knocking a rook off the board without even picking it up? That's by far the most "illegal" thing I've seen in that game)> The rook was knocked off because Zatonskih didn't wait for Irina to hit the clock. If she had, the Rook definitely wouldn't have fallen. Her hands were too much in Irina's way for her to be able to make a move without knocking off a piece. |

| lorker: Everyone moves in the other person's time when they're down to their last seconds. You have to do that or you will lose. And as even world reknown people like Gijssen have said this isn't illegal, one shouldnt say Anna Zatonskih did anything illegal. She was just trying to win, as was Irina Krush, who it seemed to me was behaving just as badly, if not worse. |

| RookFile: I guess that's the point that keeps sailing over Augalv's head. The TD went to all that trouble to report that what Zatonskih did was not illegal, but he won't pay any attention to that little detail. |

| Petrosianic: <paulalbert> <Are we willing to accept the Armageddon Match result? First, it's not up to us.> Maybe I phrased it badly. I didn't mean that it was up to us to render the decision. What I really meant was "Are we the public going to care about a title that's decided in that way?" |

| Phoenix: Maybe a better question today is whether we, the public, should recognize Anna's birthday just because she was "born" on this day. Happy birthday, Anna! |

| Riverbeast: Happy Birthday, Anna -
She's won the championship of the Ukraine and the USA...Maybe she should now move to another country and see if she can win that championship also :-) |

| dx9293: It sounds strange to say this, but it seems to me that Anna Zatonskih is a little bit underrated as a chessplayer. She has a ~2450 Elo, but she doesn't get much mention as one of the top female players in the world. Happy Birthday! |

| Travis Bickle: Hello Anna! She is a very nice person and good chess player! I used to play her at 2 minute blitz Master Challenge on the old WCN chess site. I also had the priviledge to have a chess lesson with Anna on The Ruy Lopez! |

| JointheArmy: <Travis Bickle> WCN was a terrible website run by incompetent admins and miserable mods who never became GM's. So glad they failed and went out of business. |
|

|
| Travis Bickle: Yeah But I got to play Susan Polgar at blitz, Larry Christiansen, Lev Pshakis, many more GM's and Irina Krush. They had banter chess where Masters would talk out their moves, with audio for Broadcasts and lectures. Tell me of a better site where you had such close contact with chess pro's? |

| kramputz: Blitz games are the comedy of chess.
Years ago blitz games were outlawed in the Soviet Union. |

| Dredge Rivers: Please, Anna, bury the hatchet with Irina Krush. (But not in her head!) :) |

| HeMateMe: Anna must have duel USA/Russia citizenship? She has played for the USA women's Olympiad, and is playing here for Russia in team competition. |

| Caissanist: Since she wasn't born in Russia, I wouldn't think that she was ever a Russian citizen. There don't seem to be any rules against representing a different country, so long as there are no objections from the federation you normally represent. |
