Kibitzer's Corner

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.
Jul-07-07   Karpova: A picture of her, her baby and the baby's father (guess who :-)) can be found on this site: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

  Open Defence: aahh so Grischuk is taken... well I am taken too ;-p
Jul-07-07   Karpova: <Open Defence: aahh so Grischuk is taken... well I am taken too ;-p> cause and effect?

  Open Defence: <Karpova> probably... but then who knows what fate has in store ;-p
Jul-07-07   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....
Jul-07-07   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.

  technical draw: There is a really beautiful Zhukova photo in the New in Chess, January 2009 issue, taken at the last olympics in Dresden.

  technical draw: BTW she looks a lot like my daughter-in-law. A real beauty from Medellin, Colombia.
Feb-17-09   Jim Bartle: I don't get it, TD.

Oh. You're being serious.

  technical draw: <JB> I'm sorry. I was just overwhelmed by her beauty. It won't happen again.
Feb-17-09   Jim Bartle: Not without a link, at least!
