  percyblakeney: Yes, they were married in 1988, Sam Sloan describes the circumstances: http://www.samsloan.com/reaction.htm
Mar-16-05   pazzed paun: <percyblakeney>isn't she now married to g.orlov?
Mar-30-05   pazzed paun: I think when she won the U.S. women's championship in 1990 the title took a huge jump and it has not looked back-the year before 1989 it was won by 2300 rated Alex Root then 1990 2500 E.D. won it.
