renumeratedfrog: Paul Hoffman, the writer, claims that he quit playing chess while in high school. Given that he was born in 1956, he would have been 21 at the time of this game, so it's probably not him.

| |
|
renumeratedfrog: I don't think the last two moves are correct...

| |
|
renumeratedfrog: Too bad she dropped out of chess in 2006. She's very multi-talented.

|
renumeratedfrog: The guy doesn't seem to have played any competitive games in 3 years...

| | Jul-13-10 Napoleon Bonaparte vs Madame De Remusat, 1804
| |
|
renumeratedfrog: She apparently played all her chess matches against Napoleon in the nude, which leads me to believe that the game itself was just a excuse for a sexual liaison and was probably staged.

|
renumeratedfrog: She's by far the oldest woman in the women's Top 10. Judit Polgar is 13 years her junior.

|
renumeratedfrog: This guy is rated 2586 as of June 2010, but he's still only an IM... What gives?

| |
|
renumeratedfrog: I think he gave up chess once he realized he will never become a grandmaster. For very competitive people, that would be unbearable.

| | May-05-10 Napoleon Bonaparte vs The Turk, 1809
| |
|
renumeratedfrog: Beaten by a machine! Hah-hah!
|
|
| | May-04-10 Korchnoi vs Zsofia Polgar, 1995
| |
|
renumeratedfrog: LOL, Korchnoi _is_ a crotchety old man who hates losing. I think it's a typical behavior of him.
