Kibitzer's Corner
Dec-31-05  pazzed paun: See december 2005 Chess Life for Ms. Root's view on Jennifer Shahade's new book. (hint... ms.Root is not amused! and even though she won the 1989 U.S. women's championship she is not mentioned in the book. hmm...)
Jun-27-06  SickedChess: I always think that Alexey is a male name :)
but surprise is a girl name also...
Jun-16-09  WhiteRook48: please Root
Jan-15-21  Caissanist: When she won the US Woman's Championship she was known as Alexey Rudolph, her maiden name.
Jan-25-24  thegoodanarchist: <WhiteRook48: please Root>

Root for Root, and cheer for Chirila
