Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-12-08  Udit Narayan: Is she the president of the Icelandic Chess Federation? http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
Apr-21-08  sagahelten: Yes, she is. There is an interesting interview with her in connection with the European Individual Chess Championship: http://www.eicc2008.com/en/intervie.... Here is the beginning: "Can you tell us something more about you, how did it all started in chess? My grandmother taught me how to play chess when I was 5 years old. I come from a whole family of chess-playing. All my brothers play chess and my younger brother is a grandmaster - he even won the World Championship for 20 years and younger when he was just 17. Unfortunately, he quit playing professional chess, he works as a lawyer, but given that I was brought up in an environment where everyone played chess it is a very natural thing for me to cherish it. I cherish it personally more than competitively, in fact, and I enjoy the beauty in chess when others play well. Somehow for me it is also a personal connection to my grandmother, whom I adored. She was a person of an incredible independence and free spirit, both on the chessboard and in life. She always played the King’s Gambit and always went for the win no matter what. I loved her dearly and she gave me chess. I never had a trainer or anything like that, but I had my grandmother as an inspiration. (In spite of this fact Lilja has been eleven-time Icelandic women champion! D.B.)"
