  Billy Vaughan: She's competing in the Individual European Championship, and is currently 5/7. Good luck!
May-11-08   Augalv: Yelena Dembo is currently participating in the Kapthung Open in Luxembourg.

The event is a 9 round Swiss with a first prize of 3,000 Euros and 1,500 Euros for the top woman. The time control is 90 minutes for 40 moves and then an extra 30 minutes plus a 30 second/move increment for the remainder of the game.

This is the website for the event:

May-11-08   hrvyklly: <engmaster: Yelena, whats your advice on your Grunfeld book for a positional player. Is n't the Grunfeld more for tactical players, or have you taken a more positional repetoire approach?> Smyslov and Botvinnik didn't think it was overly tactical!? Seriously, she has taken quite a 'positional' approach to the repertoire, 8...b6 against 8.Rb1 in the Exchange Variation for example. Recommended.

  notyetagm: <YELENA DEMBO> I know that you are part of a team writing <Dangeous Weapons: The King's Indian> and thought I would point out this recent game, Wang Yue vs Radjabov, 2008, in which Wang Yue defeats the 6 ... c7-c5!? pawn sacrifice line against the Samisch.

I am not sure if there is any big novelty by White in this game but thought I would point it out to you nonetheless.

  Yelena Dembo: < notyetagm > Thanks:-)
Oct-23-08   HannibalSchlecter: Yelena, given Anand's spicy play in the World Championship match with Kramnik, have you reevaluated the view that Anand's chess style lacks enough aggression for your personal taste?
Oct-23-08   FrogC: <schnarre:I think a number of us would mate!> A good example of the need for accurate punctuation. I hope you mean: <I think a number of us would, mate!>
Oct-23-08   Cactus: <FrogC> Thanks for clearing that up. I was very confused!

Dec-09-08   jesse06: guys there are three things she always mentioned during the game... 1. protect the king
2. control the center
3. develop your pieces

so sweet..

Dec-14-08   Udit Narayan: I had the honor to play against Ms. Dembo one time. We entered a Najdorf Sicilian and I was doing fine until about move 7, when I became unsure of the theory. In addition, I was very nervous playing such a high rated player. Needless to say, my position quickly collapsed after that and I resigned on the 10th move.
