| Feb-06-05 | | sb132: In Laura's game against Larry Kaufman (US 2003 L Ross vs Kaufman, 2003). She made a move to sacrifice her rook to get a check mate with King and remaining Rook. She made some really good moves to get to that position, but Kaufman saw the trap. This led to a draw. Their skill is clearly beyond mine, so I don't understand why. |

| Feb-11-05 | | Albertan: grandpajingles stated: "I think laura is an inspiring young woman whos xpertise in chess is a + for her age group and is aggressive talented player who will 1 day b amoung the brighest chess players champion some day good luck laura in ur chess career". Hi grandpajingles and ot her forum members.
Lets hope so about Laura Ross, she certainly is talented. So many young chess femmes in North America give up the royal game. Laura Ross is also an extremely good student, from what I have read, so the world is open to her.She has had alot of support from her family.She has gained the Woman's Federation Master Title, and the folks at the Chess Superstore have done part of a video about her. She plays in the New York Masters Competiton:

| Feb-12-05 | | JamesKnight: No Open Defense , just teasing, I don`t want you to pose. I bet you broke a lot of hearts though when you said you have a pic of Grischuk beside your bed. Could you bring yourself to put a patzers pic by your bed? I`d e mail you mine , but you might have nightmares putting it on your nightstand. |

| Feb-13-05 | | DanielBryant: The ultimate question is: Do armed bears have the right to bare arms? |
|

 | | tamar: <DanielBryant> One more time. There is a clause which deals with paws, and there are claws that give one pause, if that is what you are asking. But as to bears baring arms, do bears technically have arms to bare, or if they bared them would we see bear bare feet? |

| Feb-22-05 | | aw1988: <tamar> Now THAT's a tongue-twister. |

| Oct-06-05 | | larrewl: I'm ignorant about Laura Ross. Was she born in the US? Why aren't more of her games posted @ chessbase? She's obviously a great young player to draw Shahade. Maybe she'll compete in the World Chess Championships some day. Who is currently the best U18 born in the US? I definitely consider Nakamura American although he was born in Japan. |
|
| Oct-06-05 | | NakoSonorense: Nakamura.... Freddy Adu.... Susan Polgar...
If they can't be produced here, the US imports them. |

 | | WannaBe: <NokoSonorense> Glad you chose a good Univ. to go to. (I went there, still live in LA area) |
|
| Oct-06-05 | | NakoSonorense: Thank you, <WannaBe>. It's my first official week here. I still have a loooong way to go... :) |
|
Oct-06-05
| | WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Good luck my friend. Do good! (I went to the Washington U vs. UCLA game last weekend =) I know I had a great time when I went there. |
|
| Oct-06-05 | | NakoSonorense: oh, really? I was going to go, but decided to go home instead (which is in LA area, too: East LA). Besides, I'm not much into football, but I guess it's still fun to watch. See you around, and thanks for your good wishes.:) |

| Sep-06-06 | | Albertan: Laura Ross holds the distinction of being the first female ever in the United States to head a "Top 100 Players" list of both male and female players, as published by the United States Chess Federation. In April 2002, she became the highest rated 13 year old, male or female, in the US. |

| Mar-16-19 | | jith1207: LOL at the conversation here and how it all started. |
|
| Mar-16-19 | | Albertan: Here is an update on Laura:
``Laura Smith formerly "Laura Ross" (born 1988) is an American chess player. She holds the title of Woman FIDE Master.[1] As of September 2011, her FIDE rating is 2217. She is no longer an active player, but she does enjoy playing for fun. Laura also teaches private chess lessons. In 1998 she finished eighth in the World Championship Girls Under 10. Ross was the first US female to head a "Top 100 Players" list of both male and female players, as published by the United States Chess Federation. In April 2002 she became the highest rated 13-year-old, male or female, in the US.[2] Laura is an alumna of Binghamton University.
After college Laura taught for the non-profit Chess-in-the-Schools. She enjoyed teaching so much that she went on to earn her Master's in Childhood Education. She is now a 3rd Grade teacher in Brooklyn and she helps run the chess team at the school.`` source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura... |

| Jan-03-20 | | The Kings Domain: Talented player, too bad she didn't make it as women's world champ or at least the Top 10. With her skill and looks she would have made a good representative for the game. |

| Jan-03-20 | | Ratt Boy: <<sb132> The title <amendment> is a bit misleading, as most of the amendments were part of the Constitution right from the start. These are often collectively termed as the "Bill of Rights"> Not true at all. The Bill of Rights comprises the first ten amendments. At this point, twenty-seven amendments have been passed. 10/27 = 0.3707…
Even if you ignored Amendments 18 and 21 (which cancelled each other out), you're left with 25 ratified amendments which are in force. 10/25 = 0.4.
0.4 < 0.5. Q.E.D. |
