<Honza Cervenka> I heard the same quote You mentioned as being attributed to Mikhail Tal. <Karpova> I'd say, in this photo Ms.de Silans reminds of the young Ava Gardner with a touch of the looks of the young Queen Elisabeth II :-) Very pretty! |

In 1932, at age thirteen, she entered her first women's French Chess Championship. In 1936, she won the championship at age seventeen. .." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanta... |

I hadn't played a serious game in like eight years and when she asked me to play I consented, thinking it would be fun. She promptly puts me on the second board against, I believe, Eric Burlingame. "Sucker punched" well describes the way I felt at the moment. She was quite the queen of the scene. |
