Mar-25-06   Mameluk: The foreign guy is famous Qatarian GM Al-Modiahki and I believe she wants to represent Qatar in the future and these repre- problems are the reason she did not play WWC 2006.

Jul-27-06   14 Dog Knight: I wouldn't mind looking up and seeing Zhu Chen on the other side of the board like that...
Aug-02-06   NOKRO: <14 Dog Knight: I wouldn't mind looking up and seeing Zhu Chen on the other side of the board like that...>

I remember seeing picture of the late GM Anthony Miles playing tournament chess at exactly the same pose.

Aug-08-06   PinkPanther: LOL, priceless.
Jan-31-07   Dr.Lecter: She looks younger than her age. I guessed she was 25 or so. But then, I'm horrible at guessing ages.
Feb-05-07   Ashram64: <Dr.Lecter: She looks younger than her age. I guessed she was 25 or so. But then, I'm horrible at guessing ages.> She's Asian! all asians look 10yrs younger their age once they hit middle ages..

  percyblakeney: Zhu Chen is having a bad tournament in Dubai. First she lost with white against 2100 opposition, and today against a 2300 opponent (far from her recent beating of close to 2700 Georgiev with black in Gibraltar).

Jun-14-07   Karpova: 9th Dubai Open 2007 22nd April to 1st May 2007

Zhu Chen got 6.0 points but only had a performance of 2402 (rating of 2531) so the rating change was -11.6. She reached 24th place (seeded 15th place)

Aug-05-07   Dr.Lecter: <ashram> thank you. I am an asian myself.

  whiteshark: Breaking News: Zhu Chen Withdraws

<Grandmaster <Zhu Chen> informed the organization committee that she would not be able to play in the .. FIDE Women Grand Prix.>

Any information why she cancelled?

http://istanbul2009.fide.com/

Mar-05-09   Ladolcevita: <WhiteShark>
I just checked out her sohu(one of the chinese portal webs)blog,It looks like she's going to spend more time and energy on her family,since her second baby was born.I guess this is the main reason. The signature of her blog is"from floweriness to wateriness(or peace,ect)".
