| norami: When she won that tournament at age 13 with a performance rating of 2622 she looked as cute as could be. I thought she'd grow up to become a combination of brains and beauty unmatched in recorded history. |

| percyblakeney: Lahno reached 2486 already in October 2003, when she was still 13 years old, but has found it hard to reach the next level. In January 2009 she is 2488. |

| alexmagnus: It's quite a typical phenomenon for female players. Actually I noticed that most female players develop up to the age of 13-15 (depends on player) not worse than their male counterplayers but then stagnate... The stagnation normally lasts until the age 18-20, then the player gets forward (in a similar tempo as men of the same age) again but never manages to get the 5 years back. Those 5 years actually make the 150-200 points women are on average worse than men in chess. Interestingly, the only female to reach male topchess, J.Polgar, didn't have that stagnation phase. |

| percyblakeney: <I noticed that most female players develop up to the age of 13-15 (depends on player) not worse than their male counterplayers but then stagnate...> It does seem to happen more often with women players that they have a long plateau or develop slower later in their teens or early 20s. Some random examples after looking at FIDE's rating lists: Tatiana Kosintseva has moved from #17 to #14 in six years, while her sister Nadezhda was #21 both four years ago and now. Lahno was #6 when still 13 years old at the end of 2003 and is #20 now. Charochkina (b. 1990) was a 2400 player in October 2007 but is down to 2316 in January 2009. Gunina was 2394 when 16 and is 2400 as 19-year-old. Shen Yang (b. 1989) had a higher rating in 2006 than today. Tairova (b. 1991) was higher rated two years ago than now. Mongonthuul was top 50 when 18 but not today at 21. Krush was #13 in 2003 and is #32 now. Atalik was #44 year 2000 and today. I suppose one can find similar developments also among the men, but it seems as if it is more common among the women. |

| alexmagnus: So, Katy married. Fontaine, who is 10 years older than her. I start to wonder why chess couples always have such an unbalanced age relation... |

| Dionyseus: Congrats to Kateryna on her marriage.
I was looking at the photos of the wedding (http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...) and I don't mean any offense by this but I prefer her hair a little longer, like in these:
