  sisyphus: Marie Sebag's rating continues to climb, up to 2479 in April. Today she beat Kazakh GM Murtas Kazhgaleyev (2603) in the French Team Championship.

  weisyschwarz: And she beat Rustam Kasimdzhanov at the 2007 Hogeschool Zeeland Tournament in Holland.

  sisyphus: Marie's rating climbed to 2491 in July. She came equal first (with Bu Xiangzhi) at the Neckar Open, scoring 7.5/9.
Aug-10-07   zluria: Sebag has just won a wonderful game against GM Machal Krasenkow, winning in 30 moves with a nice K-side attack that seemed to come out of nowhere.

  dx9293: To my recollection, she has always played second or third board for France in the Womens Olympiads. But now, it seems she is racing by Almira!

  percyblakeney: Very impressive to beat both Kasim and Krasenkow in the Hogeschool Zeeland Tournament (2007).

  percyblakeney: Sebag keeps playing well, in Ordix Open she has drawn Karjakin and is even with Ivanchuk and Mamedyarov with one round to go.

  percyblakeney: August has been a good month for Sebag, first she won against world #27 and #48 (and drew Tiviakov) in classical chess, then she finished ahead of Mamedyarov (even with Grischuk and Shirov) in Mainz rapids, after making Karjakin work for the draw. She has now passed 2500 and will surely get the GM title soon.

  dx9293: <percyblakeney> Sebag is expected to gain 17.7 points on the October list, making her 2509! Other strong women IMs (I'm thinking of Skripchenko and Krush, mostly) get lots of attention, but Marie is now the best and one rarely hears her name.

Krush is playing well and is making progress, no doubt. She is a nice person (and only a few months younger than me!) and I am rooting for her to become GM soon. Skripchenko I only met once and she is nice as well, but I think she gets a lot of attention for non-chess-related reasons!

I hope Sebag gets more attention (I've never met her): for her good chess!

  sisyphus: Marie Sebag rises to 2521 in April 2008, eighth in the world.

I haven't seen her show her underwear since she turned 21. Perhaps it's a junior thing.
