Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-01-05  Karpova: According to http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... she's going to marry Suat Atalik. He is double her age.
Nov-01-05  notsodeepthought: From the same article: "The two will play a blitz match to decide who is the boss..." Well, at least it's not a correspondence match - that wouldn't be a good start to the marriage.
Nov-01-05  azaris: Is this called a Reverse Alekhine?
Nov-01-05  Robin01: Sounds more like robbing the craddle to me.
Nov-07-05  Udit Narayan: Hmmm...she's beautiful.
Nov-11-05  notsodeepthought: Update - the blitz match between the newlyweds ended in a draw, according to http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.... For the time being, neither will boss the other around (at least officially).

Suleymanpasa Municipality Int. GM Closed 2016 round 03

Nov-08-18  sonia91: She was on verge of eliminating former women's world champion Mariya Muzychuk from the Women's World Championship KO (2018), but lost the second game (Atalik won the first game with black) after a blunder in a winning position ad went on losing the rapid tiebreakers 0.5-1.5.
Feb-09-20  thegoodanarchist: How do you get your photo in an oval? Is that like a special cg treatment?
