  Billy Vaughan: I can kinda see it in her Chessgames photo, but most of the time no, she just looks like Anna Muzychuk to me.

Go to the photo posted a few lines above, with the line "great shirt", its a much more flattering photo than the one used here.

  beenthere240: Check out her game against Korchnoi in the snowdrop vs alterkocker tournament. Devastating.

  beenthere240: The only problem with the Muzychuk-Korchnoi game is that it's hard to tell why she won (the final position at move 28 is a deadlocked pawnchain) unless Korchnoi fell asleep and lost on time.

  Billy Vaughan: Korchnoi lost on time several times this tournament, I think.

  beenthere240: Thanks -- I probably shouldn't have used the word "devasting" in the above post. Irony often doesn't transmit well in BB format. I wouldn't like to think that Muzychuk kept playing in a dead drawn position simply to wear Vladimir out. Not very sporting for a snowdrop.

Actually, judging from the Europe-Echecs video that's exactly what happened. Korchnoi was spacing out when the organizer came over and told him he lost on time.

  waustad: There was one game where Korchnoi declined to sign the score sheet after being told that he lost on time. I thought that it was round 1 against Jackova, but it may have been this one.
Dec-16-09   kurtrichards: Corus B is a strong field, Anna.But don't mind the odds just play your chess. Good luck!
Dec-19-09   sonia91: She is playing in European Rapid Championship, go Anna!
Dec-22-09   sonia91: 21st place in European Rapid Championship, 1st among women, bravo Anna!
Jan-18-10   VishyFan: Playing in Corus B right now....
Jan-19-10   Cercatore: Who care about her chess's skills, she's beautiful like an angel :P

Jan-21-10   I play the Fred: She's pretty, but there are at least five chessplayers better looking than she: Caoili, Kosteniuk, J. Polgar, Sachdev, and Krush. Not trying to be mean or anything, just IMO.

  Billy Vaughan: I actually think Muzychuk and Karina Szczepkowska are the best-looking female chess players I've seen, though my taste in women probably differs from most people.
Jan-26-10   sonia91: Muzychuk A. - Giri A. 1-0 !! Bravo Anna!
Jan-26-10   eriatlov: Breakthrough win!
I guess more people here will notice more of your your play as much as your looks.

  wanabe2000: A well played win over Giri. The lowest rated player in Corus Group B now has a win to go with six draws. So far a credible performance.

Premium Chessgames Member
  Billy Vaughan: She's outperforming players like Nisipeanu and Nyback. Go Muzychuk!

Very cute indeed!

Feb-01-10   iBelieve: you <Billy V.>

...she'll be lovelier next time around, Corus 2011!

...Anish looks like the young Omar Shariff.
