Jul-01-07    WTHarvey: Lufei has picked up an amazing 63 rating points since April and is #7 on the FIDE Girls ratings list.

Dec-18-10    percyblakeney: <Highest rating achieved in database: 2199> sounds a bit low for a World Championship finalist :-) Dec-18-10    percyblakeney: When she reached the final there had been no posts on her page for well over 3 years, and no games in the database for more than 2 before the World Championship, now that's to be under the radar... Dec-18-10    tamar: She made a vertical ratings leap in 2007, and then stabilized. Now another leap is in store after these results are processed.
