|

|
Jan-05-08 | | Udit Narayan: <paulalbert> Thanks for correction. |
|
Feb-22-08 | | Udit Narayan: Whenever I recall the incident from this game, Korbut vs N Pogonina, 2007,
I still feel incredible pain. Losing a game because you mobile rings must be the worst feeling in the world!!! (especially if you have a promising position) That loss cost her from winning the tournament. |
|
Feb-09-09 | | brankat: Happy Birthday Ekaterina! |
|
Feb-26-10 | | JohnstownChess: She was one of the instructers on ICC... |
|
Mar-11-10 | | percyblakeney: Korbut hasn't played a rated game since 2008, when she played for the Russian team in the Olympiad and in a match against China. In the latter she won in 25 moves with black against the latest Grand Prix winner (and World Champion 2006-08) Xu Yuhua. In December 2006 she won the Russian Superfinal ahead of Kosintsevas, Galliamova etc, but for some reason she seems to have stopped playing, at least for the moment. |

 | | HeMateMe: Wasn't she the first player to compete in the Olympics, first as a gymnast, then as a figure skater? I thought I saw her profiled on "60 Minutes." |
|
Mar-11-10 | | whiteshark: <he#me> No, you meant Olga Korbut. |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: <Hot Logic: Now the new Russian women's Champion [for 2006] with 8/11 ahead of both Kosintseva sisters and Elena Tairova with 7.5/11. ***> This achievement should be mentioned in her bio on this page. But for an unfortunate mobile-phone contretemps: Korbut vs N Pogonina, 2007, Korbut would have repeated as Russian Champion in 2007. |
|
Apr-01-12 | | Karpova: According to http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?ev... her last rated game was played in April, 2009 |
|
Oct-12-13 | | whiteshark: According to http://immortalchess.net/forum/show... she is married and has a daughter. |
|
Oct-12-13 | | dx9293: Thanks <whiteshark>. I wondered what happened to her. Even though she is practically the same age as Pogonina, Kosteniuk, the Kosintsevas, Ushenina, Sebag, etc. she has been retired for several years already. Actually, in Fall 2009 I contacted "Kate" for some lessons on ICC (I saw her ad on the Services page, liked her approach, and wanted to try a female coach for a change). We never got to do any lessons unfortunately because our schedules didn't mesh and it seemed like she was busy with other things. |
|
Feb-09-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, GM Katerina Korbut. |
|
Feb-21-18 | | whiteshark: More addition to the family... https://ok.ru/profile/815290864 :) |

 | | Tabanus: Probably the only Russian champion without a photo. Despite I sent one in a year ago ;) |
|

 | | Tabanus: Never say never! http://wwcc2006.fide.com/tn_korbut.... is the one I sent in, I could swear it was. |
