  Open Defence: <Akavall: <acirce> You can't really see her face> so Akvall was actually trying to see her face... there might be a gentleman kibtizer at cg.com after all LOL
Jan-18-07   stanleys: Best wishes to Almira and her new husband - GM Laurent Fressinet!!! http://echecs.asso.fr/
Feb-16-07   Whitehat1963: Funny: http://dullicious.net/?p=119
Feb-17-07   laskereshevsky: Best wishes to Almira and Laurent from Me too....

well, thats mean she will be no more
ALMIRA SKRIPCHENKO-LAUTIER,
but ALMIRA SKRIPCHENKO-FRESSINET?!?!

Feb-17-07   Mameluk: Now it should be right Almira Skripchenko-Lautier-Fressinet. This achievement won´t be easy to overcome however. Dr. Jana Malypetrova Hartston Miles Bellin .
Feb-17-07   laskereshevsky: <Mameluk> cool....
maybe in the future she will be something like ...<Almira Skripchenko-Lautier-Fressinet-Bacrot-Bauer-Vachier lagrave-....> (Hes already with a double surname!)..........VIVÉ LA FRANCE!!!
Feb-17-07   elLocoEvans: you mean that if she later dates Tiviakov for instance, and somethings happens, then she will be Almira Skripchenko-Lautier-Fressinet-Tiviakova? oh la la

  percyblakeney: It's if Almira changes direction some time in the future and marries Dr. Jana Malypetrova Hartston Miles Bellin that it could get really problematic.
Feb-17-07   laskereshevsky: Well, at most Dr.Jana should be the adoptive mather of Almira.......
Feb-17-07   laskereshevsky: excuse me but all this its very fine and hilarius, i cant stop my self to post here!...

my last creation: looks like, in the Bio picture, if Almira is thinking:.....

<..WOW!!...IM SO HAPPY!!....IF I PLAY WELL MY "CARDS"... I SHOULD PUT MY SURNAME IN THE WORLD RECORDS BOOK.....>...:):):)

Feb-17-07   vesivialvy93: ....Not her best smile on that pic here ...
