Jan-03-08    Karpova: <Oliver Gareth: The 18-year-old is currently rated 2164. A native of Canberra, he studies computer science and is a big freak for computer games. Besides chess he loves Japanese fencing. He has played at Youth events at Greece, France and Spain. He found this tournament very different and exceptionally good.> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Picture: http://www.chessbase.com/news/2008/... Jan-03-08    Benzol: I thought his name was Gareth Oliver and that Shannon Oliver was his elder sister. Jan-03-08    Open Defence: Benzol I think you are right... Oliver Shannon sounds quite the gender bender Jul-20-08    gazzawhite: <Benzol> you are right, his name is indeed Gareth Oliver, and Shannon is his sister (though she is younger). As a fellow Gareth, I should know these things! Oh, plus I have played him (of course I got floored but he was kind enough to tell me my mistake). Aug-08-08    flyingmermaid: Actually Shannon Oliver is the older sister. There is another one, Tamzin Oliver, who also plays chess and is younger. May-14-09    gazzawhite: Indeed, <flyingmermaid>, you are correct, my bad.
