Aug-16-04    Dick Brain: <SIGNORINA SMOKINA> This should be added to any list of great chess player names which include the likes of Mr. Pulvermacher and Mr. Hammer. Nov-22-05    Udit Narayan: Smokina? Nov-22-05    WannaBe: photo at the bottom (second up) http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Nov-22-05    notsodeepthought: This player is obligated to keep very quiet whenever she plays, because any attempt to raise her voice invariably runs into the cautionary remark "No Smokin'a-loud". Nov-26-05    Udit Narayan: <notsodeepthought> Thanks for the laugh. Jan-02-06    Karpova: look, is she wearing a smocking jacket? http://www.chessfed.gr/Acropolis200... Jan-02-06    hitman84: <Karpova>the pic was simply smokin! Jan-02-06    Karpova: now that's a smoking gun! Jan-02-06    WMD: <This should be added to any list of great chess player names which include the likes of Mr. Pulvermacher and Mr. Hammer> If it's of any assistance, there was an Anita Raksh-t who played for Oxford University in the 1980s. Jan-06-06    blingice: Not very good, either. Apr-13-08    DarthStapler: Peope already beat me to the puns Jun-12-08    BIDMONFA: Karolina Smokina SMOKINA, Karolina http://www.bidmonfa.com/smokina_kar... _ Dec-20-11    waustad: There is a better picture here: http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp... Dec-20-11    Cibator: <This should be added to any list of great chess player names which include the likes of Mr. Pulvermacher and Mr. Hammer> <If it's of any assistance, there was an Anita Raksh-t who played for Oxford University in the 1980s.> She had a sister called Mira, and two brothers whose names I forget. All members of my club in north London in the mid-70s. Dec-20-11    thegoodanarchist: <WannaBe> Anna Sharevich, of Belarus, is very attractive as well. Dec-21-11    Cibator: BTW, <WMD:> : that name might seem amusing to Anglo-Saxon readers, but I'd better point out that a well-known morning TV presenter in NZ recently got fired for guffawing and making puerile comments about an eminent Indian whose name also ended with those four letters. Dec-21-11    OBIT: So what ever happened to that figure skater Irina Slutskaya?
