May-25-06   Zebra: Does anybody know how this lady's name is pronounced? And the other top Lithuanian players for that matter...

  Albertan: Here is an interview with Victoria Cmilyte:
http://www.gmsquare.com/interviews/...
Aug-06-06   EmperorAtahualpa: Happy birthday, Mrs. Shirov! She is only 23 and a mother of two children already...AND also a professional chess player! She certainly leads a fast-paced life.
Aug-06-06   jackmandoo: I'd like to see her do what I do, (Hospital Security). I control access to every entrance of my hospital via computer and basiclly am responsible for all of the patients lives. I know chess is hard, but so is saving lives which is what I do. At night after I got home to keep sharp I do drills where I have to tumble and jump over obsticals in my house; like in karate movies.
Aug-06-06   jackmandoo: Also guys I am making a Karate movie called "Silent Dragon, (except for when I break a guys neck, then i make sound)" If you guys want to donate some money for production that would be awesome.
Mar-25-07   Dr.Lecter: <jackmandoo> Hmm, how much do you need donations for? I think I might be able to spare few billion dollars.

May-21-09   returnoftheking: I was just looking at some games on playchess, found out she just played a funny game. Probably not her usual level but quite entertaining because it was a total bluff:

Cmilyte,V - Loeffler,S [E60]
3° Festival Internazionale Capo d'Orso Porto Mannu (6), 20.05.2009

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3 c5 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Nc3 cxd4 6.Nxd4 0-0 7.Bg2 Qc7 8.Ndb5 Qxc4 9.b3 Qe6 10.0-0 Qb6 11.Be3 Qa5 12.Rc1 Nc6 13.a3 d6 14.b4 Qd8 15.h3 Bd7 16.Nd4 Rc8 17.Nf3 b6 18.Qd2 Bf5 19.Nh4 Be6 20.f4 Bc4 21.g4 e6 22.g5 Ne8 23.Nf3 d5 24.Bf2 Nd6 25.Nh2 a5 26.Ng4 axb4 27.axb4 Ra8 28.b5 Nxb5 29.Nxb5 Bxb5 30.Rxc6 Bxc6 31.Bd4 Ra2 32.Qc3

White has lost a pawn and sac'd some extra material along the way for vague threats. Bxd4 looks good enough for black because he can give back some material. Instead he played:

Rc2 33.Nh6+ Bxh6 34.Qxc2 1-0

2 pieces are attacked and g7 will be a problem as well.

Guess White's move!

Jul-27-09   Troller: <refutor: you don't hear "still married" and "Shirov" in the same sentence very often>

Well, I am pretty sure she's divorced him now, as I believe she is currently dating Peter Heine Nielsen

  Caissanist: Cimlyte and Shirov have been divorced for a while now, the bio needs to be updated.
Aug-18-09   returnoftheking: Maybe SamAtoms knows something about her character that we don't..:)
Aug-18-09   SamAtoms1980: Oh my, oh my, oh my. I had no idea. Ay caramba, oy vey.....
Oct-29-09   kwi: Has she achieved a 20 game GM norm in the 17th European Team Chess Championship 2009 (from the 8 games she played already per rule 1.41b)?
