Apr-30-04  hot: Hey, I am a fan of your's since the Blitz tourney at the North American Open in Las Vegas. My biggest accoplishment is getting beat by you twice in Blitz. I hope i will be able to play you again at the Supernationals. P.S. I played you in the second round, I am around your age i think, but im not really sure.
Feb-22-06  StarJock: I wish Hana the best of luck at the 2006-U.S.Championship being played in San Diego, California next month. I saw you at the U.S.Open in Phoenix last year and hope to see you in San Diego !
Mar-03-06  Karpova: Another future dream of every chessnerd (maybe except for blingice ;-)) http://www.suburban-chess.org/2005U... http://icanj.net/base/2004/9/13/9/2...
she's a WFM btw.
Mar-05-06  dafish298: In my opinion she is sometimes ridiculously hot and sometimes just not hot..i have seen her and played against her team at usate and she changes her hair color alot lol
Mar-06-06  Karpova: changing one's hair colour so often causes damage to the hair
Mar-06-06  SickedChess: please take a pic of her when her hair is blonde! :)
Mar-13-06  thesonicvision: she's a very attractive girl,
and a strong chess player.

Mar-19-06  EmperorAtahualpa: <thesonicvision> Your link doesn't work!

Here's another cute pic of her though: http://www.chessbase.com/news/2006/...

She's the girl on the right.

Jul-18-06  Runemaster: <Karpova> <Another future dream of every chessnerd (maybe except for blingice> So what's <blingice>'s dream, ? Republicans in the White House for the next hundred years?

By the way, <Karpova> I still enjoy looking up the list of quotes in your profile. My favourite is <Nimzovich v Systemsson>, when <Jaymthegenius> was a bit slow to pick up that the game was a hoax.

Jul-19-06  blingice: <Runemaster: Republicans in the White House for the next hundred years?>

That'd be pretty cool...

<Karpova: Another future dream of every chessnerd (maybe except for blingice ;-))>

Yeah, she's much better than Kostenuik or Muzychuk. No comparison to the women of Victoria's Secret though: Heidi Klum, Giselle Bundchen, Tyra Banks, and Adriana Lima.

Jul-19-06  Legend: My favorite quote from Karpova`s profile is by LancelotduLac! That was just hilarious ... :)

...and I agree, Hana is very beautiful woman indeed!

Nov-19-07  Udit Narayan: She looks a bit like Brittany Murphy...and that's definitely not a bad thing =)
May-27-09  RachelAlexandra: She needs to stop smoking cigarettes. She could be 125 points higher if not dealing with nicotine fits.
Jul-06-09  JoeGarnier: On the other hand Rachel, Hana's smoking may keep her rating higher due to smoking's so called "calming effects". LOL
Jul-22-10  thegoodanarchist: <blingice: No comparison to the women of Victoria's Secret though: Heidi Klum, Giselle Bundchen, Tyra Banks, and Adriana Lima.>

Then you haven't seen her in person. Photos don't do justice
