| 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... |

| 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. |

| 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"]

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! |

| 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! |

| spasskey69: Is there any more personal information available? Who is her trainer? |

| Wild Bill: Lilit Mkrtchian is currently leading the European Women's Championship in St. Petersburg. It's too bad she isn't more of a devotee of a certain subset of the French. It would remind us how to get a close approximation to the pronounciation of her name. Hint: A Rudolf vs L Mkrtchian, 2008 |

| MMan: "Lilit Mkrtchian is currently leading the European Women's Championship in St. Petersburg." I hope the prize money is big enough that she can buy some vowels. |

| khursh: Congratulations to Lilit Mkrtchian on winning X European Women's Championship in St. Petersburg !!! /shared with Tatiana Kosintseva / Is there any tiebreak system [and which] to decide the winner? |

| percyblakeney: <Is there any tiebreak system [and which] to decide the winner?> Yep:
<IM Lilit Mkrtchian of Armenia and IM Tatiana Kosintseva of Russia will decide the new European Women Chess Champion after a rapid tiebreak match that should follow later tonight or tomorrow. IM Ekaterina Kovalevskaya entered the last round as sole leader, but then played too passively with Black pieces and Kosintseva knew how to punish this complacency. Lilit Mkrtchian bravely attacked WGM Marina Romanko's Naidorf Sicilian with the sharpest Poisoned Pawn variation. Black King remained stuck in the center and then Romanko blundered a tactical shot while trying to complete the queenside development.> http://reports.chessdom.com/news-20... |

| OhioChessFan: I think Alex Trebeck would stroke out if you tried to buy a vowel on Jeopardy. <khursh> that game reminds me of this one:
Lahno vs A Gasik, 2001
where Black played Qa5 and later saw the Queen trapped. |
|
| Sep-15-09 |
| jon01: Mkrtchian seems to be one of the best women players in the world. |
