| MMan: Does anyone know what languages Irina Krush speaks? English and Ukrainian, certainly. Any others? |

| Dredge Rivers: Why wasn't she at Istanbul last month? |

 |
| HeMateMe: a vibrant young woman, good player. can't they get a photo of her smiling? |
|
| Apr-12-09 |
| Dredge Rivers: I just heard she may not be married after all!
If so, Irina, CALL ME! :) |

| HeMateMe: I read a book by a guy who followed a few players around for a year, including her husband, Charbeneau, Canadian GM. He got creamed by Bacrot in a mini-match elimination tournament, I think back when FIDE was running the giant 64 player "championship". Anyway, near the end of the book, this author is at their wedding, sees the rings exchanged, etc.....maybe they got anulled or something?, dunnno. |

What? I thought she was married to GM Pascal Charbonneau? |
|

|
| HeMateMe: I just wish they would change the photo--she's really attractive, when smiling. In the above photo, she looks like she's headed for the dentists chair, and the dentist is Dick butkus... |

| Dredge Rivers: <notyetagm> <HeMateMe> <I read a book by a guy> I think you're reffering to "The King's Gambit" by Paul Hoffman. On Charbonneau's page, <PhilFeeley> posted that he heard from someone at Chessbase that Krush and Charbonneau were not married after all. |

| spasskey69: They are married. Their phone voicemail message tells you that you've reached their home. They are also two of the finest people you'll ever want to know. |

| parmetd: I just heard they broke up. |

| kurtrichards: <parmetd: I just heard they broke up.> Oh...what an ending. I thought it is always...and they live happily ever after! It wasn't a fairy tale after all. :( |

|
| parmetd: assuming what I heard is true? I probably shouldn't pass things on without evidence to confirm but I suppose too late for that now. |

| timhortons: Now this is all gossip but what I heard at Canadian Open last year is that Irina is a gf of GM Charbonneau. Married or not, that i don't know.
Well good for them if they're not legally tied up with each other, at least they well not get into the hustle of divorce. If relationship is not working anymore, let go of it, big deal.. |
|

|
| timhortons: BTW Irina Krush is really pretty in person. |
|
| Apr-21-09 |
| Dredge Rivers: Iiiii-reee-na!
Iiiii-reee-na!
How I'd love to seeeee ya! |

| Open Defence: <Dredge Rivers> its just a Krush... it may pass |
|
| Apr-25-09 |
| Dredge Rivers: I think it's time for Krush and Zatonskih to work out their problems with each other. Come on, kiss and make up! :) |

| wanabe2000: GM Gregory Kaidanov vs IM Irina Krush
1/2-1/2 in round 1. |
|
May-17-09
|
| wanabe2000: I think that Irina should be disappointed with her performance. Two wins against GM's and two draws against GM's not withstanding, she had a win vs GM Benjamin and lost. Also, a draw in the last round against Lawton was not expected. Without those mishaps it would be a fine tournament. |

| Udit Narayan: <wanabe2000> Don't you mean she <shouldn't<<<<<>>>>>> be disappointed? |
|

|
| wanabe2000: <Udit Narayan> Thank you for your comment. Let me say that leading up to this tournament there was much criticism having Irina and Anna paticipating. If Irina does not want to be seen as the "token woman" than a 4.5-4.5 score, or better, would have silenced her critics. I'm a fan of her games, and having never met her I can only suppose her happiness or unhappiness with her tournament. I had hoped she would have better results to justify her invitation. |

|
| HeMateMe: 50% against this field seems like a good score. For one who doesn't have the mens GM title, I think she should be happy. |
|
May-18-09
|
| wanabe2000: <HeMateMe>
She did not score 50%. 3.5 out of 9. See how another IM did against stronger competition:
Aeroflot Open (2009)/Tatiana Kosintseva.
I root for Irina but I would like to see her do better and join the GM elite. |
|

|
| HeMateMe: Guess I misread the previous posting. I expect Humpy or Yufan to possibly get the regular GM title and play in both male and female events. |
|
| May-23-09 |
| Dredge Rivers: So what if she only got 3 1/2 - 5 1/2 at the US Championships! She's still got that hotness thing working for her! |
