| gadfly: Eti is having an incredibly successful string of tournaments during 2008 and gained more than 74!!! over the last rating period. At 2538 she seems to be set on breaking her all-time highest rating of 2560. At the Women's Russian Club Cup after seven rounds of which she played 5, she has won 4 games, drawn one and remains undefeated! If she keeps playing at that level, I would not be surprised if she breaks 2600 by the end of the year and joins the top 3 in the women's Fide top list. |

| brankat: <NakoSonorense> Thanks. Yes, I just remembered, he replied to my post to him on <Irene Winter> player's page yesterday. So, as I suspected it's not the ignore. Either a software glitch, or more likely he uses the forum solely for his end-games study. Just about all the posts there are his. |

| chessya11: To quote from Whitman:
<What I don't understand is why players insist on playing 1...Nf6 when Stefanova has White. Stefanova has one answer to that, the Tromp. And invariably she knows the opening better than her opponent and wins. This to me signals that you must either (A) play something other than Nf6; or (B) learn the Tromp better than Stefanova (good luck there).Instead, players choose option (C) which is allow the Tromp without a clue, and lose. No sense whatsoever.> I couldn't agree more. Morons.
Solution: play 1...h6 and watch Stefanova cry. |

| whiteshark: <Antoaneta Stefanova>, is one of the three <ex-world champions> in the field. She learnt playing at the age of four and her father was her initial tutor. At the age of 7 she already became the champion of Sofia, her hometown. She won world youth title in <1989>. She is one of the women players that compete successfully against men and her results can be traced back to <1993> which was the time she started taking part in Chess Olympiads and she has participated <five Olympiads>. She joined the men's team for the Olympiad in İstanbul, <2000>. She already joined the top ten of women ranking in FIDE rating list back in 1997 but also won the crown for <world championship in 2004> and held the title until 2006. Stefanova won the bronze medal in European Individual Championship in <2007>, which she already won in <2002>. Last year she won the North Urals Cup, another women's super tournament but was not able to retake the crown for FIDE World Women Chess Championship since she failed to advance to the semi final in her mini-match against Pia Cramling. from http://istanbul2009.fide.com/stefan... |
