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. Feb-10-09    zdigyigy: To think some lucky shmoe gets to call her mine.....Harumph ;-)Thank you and keep on beatin em Ms. Dembo.
