| PinkPanther: I saw a guy one time whose last name had about 8 or 9 letters but not one vowel. |

| nikolaas: <PinkPanther> Do you remember who it was? |
|

| nikolaas: < I saw a guy one time whose last name had about 8 or 9 letters but not one vowel. > Maybe Vrhfstdt? |

 |
| acirce: G Vrhfstdt? |
|
| Jul-12-04 |
| nikolaas: Indeed. Was it this person? |
|
| Jul-13-04 |
| Larsker: Not that difficult.
Make a thick, labial M: Mmmmmm. Then "cart"
Mmm-cart-chian. |
|
| Jul-13-04 |
| nikolaas: <acirce> How did you know G. Vrhfstdt? |
|

|
| acirce: If we're talking about the same person it's not that hard if you are interested in politics, especially the recent EU president debate. |
|
| Jul-13-04 |
| nikolaas: Yes, but there he's called Verhofstadt. I was very surprised you knew his campaign slogan (how foolish it may sound, in his campaign, he used the name Vrhfstdt). |
|
Jul-13-04
|
| acirce: I didn't know that actually, I was guessing. |
|
| Jul-13-04 |
| nikolaas: I'm happy he didn't make it (though I doubt the one they elected is better). |

She has the fullest unibrow I've ever seen for a girl... |

| percyblakeney: After following the discussions on this site for many months I once upon a time finally began posting thanks to the Mkrtchian page. Some users kept posting old photos and repeatedly complained about her looks, and it ended up with their posts and mine being deleted... Anyway Mkrtchian is 24, gets closer to 2500 on every new FIDE list, and has been looking like this for many years: http://www.chessbase.de/2004/dresde... |

| blingice: That is a much better picture. |
|

|
| percyblakeney: Mkrtchian survived a car crash with a broken arm and a brain concussion earlier this year and spent a week in hospital. She turned up in the Women's World Championship, but lost in the first round against a much lower rated opponent, not too unexpected given the circumstances. |

| Jim Bartle: Maybe she and former volleyball player Bob Ctvrtlik should go on Jeopardy and buy a vowel. |
|
Apr-27-06
|
| percyblakeney: Doing fine in the Russian Club Championship, five wins and one draw in six games. |

| weisyschwarz: <blingice> there was even a better picture of her in the kosteniuk kollection of fotos taken during the Turin Olympiad. |

| percyblakeney: One of Mkrtchian's best games from a tournament in Croatia earlier this month. A double exchange sacrifice at moves 35-38 against a very strong opponent takes her close to the win, but then things go wrong in the endgame. [Event "14th Salona"]
[Site "Solin, CRO"]
[Date "2006.12.01"]
[Round "8.4"]
[White "Movsesian, Sergei"]
[Black "Mkrtchian, Lilit"]
[WhiteElo "2637"]
[BlackElo "2468"]
[ECO "A07"]
[Result "1-0"]

Position after 49. Kg2, where Shredder gives gxf3+ as more than 2 pawns up for Mkrtchian. She took with the bishop instead and lost in the end, but still one of the more interesting games of 2006.

| Billy Vaughan: <Maybe she and former volleyball player Bob Ctvrtlik should go on Jeopardy and buy a vowel.> Heehee. But methinks Mkrtchian could just rearrange the letters of her name to something like "Mirkantch" without spending the money on vowels :) Anyways, +6 -1 =4 in the European Individual Championships for women - very nice! |

| DUS: Congrats to Lilit Mkrtchian for nice victory against Harika Dronavalli! |
|
| Sep-08-08 |
| arsen387: Mkrtchian reached to Woman's World Championship quarterfinals and drew the first game with Hou Yifan. She is the first Armenian woman who reached to that stage, and what's also remarkable, is that she is yet undefeated in the championship. Congratulations. Go Lilit! |
