You are right <Ziggurat>, men err, too :-) But, we (usually) give neither birth nor breast :-) Jan-09-09    Augalv: <brankat: <Augavl> The picture is much more recent.> I know. Jan-14-09    Karpova: Elisabeth Paehtz won the female section of the Memorial Paul Keres 2009 (January 9 to 11) in Tallin, Estonia with 6.0/7 (+5 -0 =2). She was by far the highest rated player: http://www.chessbase.com/espanola/n... Feb-08-09    Udit Narayan: when humans learn telekinesis, chess can be called a mind game...literally. Jul-13-09    Karpova: Lecture 1: How to bypass the Sofia rule (actually, a draw prior to move 40 was allowed but only after cinsulting the arbiter. This case was punished by a reprimand).

Behave. :) (With reference to her picture above.) Apr-27-10    rich187113: What a cutie! Apr-27-10    Albertan: <Apr-27-10 rich187113: What a cutie!> She may resent that inference. Apparently you did not know that she was a soldier in the German Army :): http://www.chessbase.com/news/2007/... Apr-28-10    Shams: <Albertan> Rarely has a genuine photo looked so photoshopped. Jun-27-10    wordfunph: The German chess whiz Elisabeth Paehtz admitted liking strong players although she said she'd be reluctant to date super GMs because "a player over 2700 is likely to be crazy!" (lifted from the book "King's Gambit - A Son, A Father and the World's Most Dangerous Game" by Paul Hoffman) Jun-27-10    HeMateMe: I didn't know the Volksturm was taking them that young or cute! The Red army would have no chance. Sep-17-10    nvrennvren: don't rant feminism BS.... May-09-11    Nightsurfer: <Karpova> Elisabeth Paehtz gives a damn to the SOFIA RULE ... by shamelessly copying SAM LOYD - thank you for pointing out to that, dear <vonKrolock>! - , and she even dares to give a nice bashing to the boxing brothers KLITSCHKO who have tried to make us believe that they know to play chess, please have a look at E Paehtz vs Klitschko Brothers, 2001 !
