| Gypsy: <sb132: Gypsy, I'm not chastising you...all in good humour...
<Why?> - because Europe seems to assimulate more countries each year - it was a stab at humour.> Oh. That was just one of possible interpretations of your quip. I actually ment the geological definition of the continent. The boundary separating Europe from Asia I long understood to run along Ural Mountains to perhaps Aral Lake, then to Kaspian Sea, and along Caukaz Mountains to the Black Sea. <<Overly Sensitive American> - not American either...> I missed it then. You are one of the 10% I left for "other". <"My Opinions and World Views are mine" Then why start on mine?> Giving you a hard time is not my intention. I made it long ago a personal policy to take people at face value. You asked a question, I tried to explain. I knew you could have been making a point, but yours was phrased as a straight question, so I answered it straight. And when later you said there was too much American-cetrism here, I wanted you to undestand that America realy should not be blamed for what I say or do. Incidentaly -- to take a sudden 90 degree turn -- the Federalist Papers <tamar> aluded to is a remarkable group of doccuments and their study would be timely now because of the Euro-Constitution discussions. |

| sb132: Gypsy, please take what I say with a pinch of humour...I was only having a little fun, but I allowed it to get a little too serious. |

| sb132: In Laura's game against Larry Kaufman (US 2003 L Ross vs Kaufman, 2003). She made a move to sacrifice her rook to get a check mate with King and remaining Rook. She made some really good moves to get to that position, but Kaufman saw the trap. This led to a draw. Their skill is clearly beyond mine, so I don't understand why. |

| Open Defence: <Resignation Trap> the moment women come accross a new player do we ask for a photo to see if he is hot ? That's what I meant. Of course if the photo is already their and he/she is a hottie.. well |

| Albertan: grandpajingles stated: "I think laura is an inspiring young woman whos xpertise in chess is a + for her age group and is aggressive talented player who will 1 day b amoung the brighest chess players champion some day good luck laura in ur chess career". Hi grandpajingles and ot her forum members.
Lets hope so about Laura Ross, she certainly is talented. So many young chess femmes in North America give up the royal game. Laura Ross is also an extremely good student, from what I have read, so the world is open to her.She has had alot of support from her family.She has gained the Woman's Federation Master Title, and the folks at the Chess Superstore have done part of a video about her. She plays in the New York Masters Competiton:

| JamesKnight: No Open Defense , just teasing, I don`t want you to pose. I bet you broke a lot of hearts though when you said you have a pic of Grischuk beside your bed. Could you bring yourself to put a patzers pic by your bed? I`d e mail you mine , but you might have nightmares putting it on your nightstand. |

| DanielBryant: The ultimate question is: Do armed bears have the right to bare arms? |
|
Feb-13-05
|
| tamar: <DanielBryant> One more time. There is a clause which deals with paws, and there are claws that give one pause, if that is what you are asking. But as to bears baring arms, do bears technically have arms to bare, or if they bared them would we see bear bare feet? |

| larrewl: I'm ignorant about Laura Ross. Was she born in the US? Why aren't more of her games posted @ chessbase? She's obviously a great young player to draw Shahade. Maybe she'll compete in the World Chess Championships some day. Who is currently the best U18 born in the US? I definitely consider Nakamura American although he was born in Japan. |

| NakoSonorense: Nakamura.... Freddy Adu.... Susan Polgar...
If they can't be produced here, the US imports them. |

| WannaBe: <NokoSonorense> Glad you chose a good Univ. to go to. (I went there, still live in LA area) |
|
| Oct-06-05 |
| NakoSonorense: Thank you, <WannaBe>. It's my first official week here. I still have a loooong way to go... :) |
|

|
| WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Good luck my friend. Do good! (I went to the Washington U vs. UCLA game last weekend =) I know I had a great time when I went there. |
|
| Oct-06-05 |
| NakoSonorense: oh, really? I was going to go, but decided to go home instead (which is in LA area, too: East LA). Besides, I'm not much into football, but I guess it's still fun to watch. See you around, and thanks for your good wishes.:) |

| Albertan: Laura Ross holds the distinction of being the first female ever in the United States to head a "Top 100 Players" list of both male and female players, as published by the United States Chess Federation. In April 2002, she became the highest rated 13 year old, male or female, in the US. |
