  percyblakeney: Zhukova had a rather bad tournament in Sheki, Azerbaijan last week. She was the highest rated player in the field but finished with a minus score behind among others Nona Gaprindashvili and Anna Muzychuk. Javakhishvili won with an impressive 7.5/9:

Feb-25-06   Raskolnikov: I always thought Natalya comes from Ukraine, on FIDE site http://www.fide.com/news/download/P... it is "Zhukova, Natalia (RUS)" (??)
Feb-25-06   SickedChess: maybe she change her flag because she is in love with Grischuk :)

  twinlark: I was beginning to wonder whether chess, as a truly persistent bastion of sexism, demonstrates the extent to which the intellect consistently subjugates itself to gonads.

But then again, a lot of what is said on the women players pages amounts to multiple variations of "haw haw haw gedda loaduvthat!" so any theorising about the phenomenon is basically superfluous.

Mar-13-06   EmperorAtahualpa: A photo of her taken during the Women's World Chess Championships: http://www.womenchess.com/images/ga...
Mar-14-06   PinkPanther: Zhukova was born in Dresden?
Mar-14-06   Veselin Anderson: <EmperorAtahualpa> She looks scary in that pic. Anyways, she bears a slight resemblance to my mother :)
Mar-14-06   notsodeepthought: <EmperorAtahualpa: A photo of her taken during the Women's World Chess Championships:...> <Veselin Anderson: She looks scary in that pic.> Judging from the Chinese flag next to her, the photo may have been taken during the match in which she was routed by Hou. No wonder Zhukova looks angry.
Mar-15-06   PinkPanther: Look at all the pieces on the back rank though (indicating not much of the game had been played yet), if that was the game, it surely hadn't gotten that bad by that point.

  notyetagm: You would look angry too if you were getting your butt kicked by a 12-year old.

  Appaz: Is she in any way related to the great WWII general Georgy Zhukov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhukov?
Mar-15-06   PinkPanther: No, Zhukov is a pretty common Russian (Soviet) surname.

  percyblakeney: Zhukova did well in Ordix Open, where she won with black against Naiditsch in the last round and ended up with 8.5/11 together with Grischuk and Bacrot.

  Open Defence: <Karpova> probably... but then who knows what fate has in store ;-p

  Karpova: <Open Defence>
Let's hope that Zhukova won't ever read this site or else she'll be aware of the danger :-)

  Open Defence: aahh but she would be in zugzwang....

  Karpova: And the threat is stronger than the execution
Sep-25-07   Refused: BTW. She and Grischuk are married by now and as far as I know they have little daughter.
Sep-25-07   whiteshark: Thanks <Refused>, you are an attentive and shrewd observer! :D

FIDE has awarded Zhukova a GM title conditional on her achieving a 2500 ELO: http://fide.com/news.asp?id=1466 .
