< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 8 OF 8 ·  Later Kibitzing > Feb-28-08    sonia91: Happy 18th birthday, Anna!!! Feb-28-08    ChessNe1: buon compleanno, Anna. Congrats on your performance in Moscow. Mar-28-08    sonia91: Congratulations for Anna for winning the Scandinavian Ladies Open in Stockholm and for the 3rd place in Scandinavian Rapid Open! http://www.scandinavian-chess.se/in... Mar-30-08    JYMMI: A first place again! http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... The girl is rocking this year! Jun-30-08    percyblakeney: On the July rating list Muzychuk passes 2500 for the first time, with 2504. Jul-28-08    ChessVip: new Anna look: http://chessbase.com/news/2008/even... Aug-12-08    dumbgai: I think I just found a new favorite women's chess player. I hope Anna does well at this year's women's world championship. She's certainly talented enough to win it, hopefully luck will be on her side too. Oct-26-08    dumbgai: Anna just scored a GM norm at the Euro Club. Congratulations! Dec-24-08    sonia91: She came first among women in the European Rapid Championship, finishing 18th. Congratulations! http://www.fide.com/component/conte... Dec-30-08    percyblakeney: Muzychuk has climbed to 2540 on the latest rating list, and is the fifth highest rated player in Slovenia. With 55-year-old Beliavsky as the clearly highest rated player in the country it's not impossible that Muzychuk can become #1 in Slovenia in the future. She has less than 60 points up to second placed Pavasovic, who is 16 years older. Feb-28-09    Billy Vaughan: Happy birthday, Anna Muzychuk! Hope you keep playing great chess. Feb-28-09    sonia91: Happy birthday, Anna! Mar-02-09    Billy Vaughan: http://videos.chessdom.com/ludvig-h... Interview with Hammer and Muzychuk.

Sep-20-09    Albertan: I have analyzed Anna's first round victory over GM David Howell from the 2009 Inventi GM ChessTournament and posted the analysis on the first page of my blog:http://albertan1956.blogspot.com/ I hope you will drop by my blog and enjoy the comments and analyis I have provided. I used Deep Rybka 3 to help me analyse this game. Sep-20-09    Albertan: Jun-16-09 <hedgeh0g: Related to Ivanchuk?> Not that I know of.They were both born in the Ukraine, Anna was born on February 28, 1990 in Lviv, Ukraine, however now she lives in Slovenia. Ivanchuk was born on March 18, 1969 in Kopychyntsi, Ukraine. Sep-22-09    percyblakeney: Muzychuk is playing well in Antwerp, with a plus score after four rounds in a strong field, and if she hadn't drawn from a winning position against Timman she would share first with Bacrot and Sutovsky at the moment. Sep-22-09    kurtrichards: Anna... Sep-22-09    percyblakeney: Muzychuk played well also today, but as against Timman she threw away the win in the end, here 48. Nd5 followed by c7 was winning quickly but she chose Nd7 (and after h4 the position is drawn) instead: click for larger view Sep-22-09    Albertan: I have analyzed the round 4 game between Anna Muzychuk and IM Bart Michiels from the 2009 Inventi GM ChessTournament and posted the analysis on the first page of my blog:http://albertan1956.blogspot.com/ I hope you will drop by my blog and enjoy playing through this analysis!
