  Tabanus: <whiteshark> She's born 1987? Come on :D
Sep-01-09  whiteshark: Birthdate 6-Feb-1987

<Tab>, sorry for this inexplicable lapse. :D

Sep-01-09  DCP23: <Tabanus>, <whiteshark> So what's the problem? She's legal age all right.
Sep-01-09  whiteshark: <DCP23> No problem. <Tabi> just wanted to twit me a bit with my daily 'birthday service' when I'm posting the birthdates of 1600-2000 rated 'unknown' players.

Btw <Tabanus>, on your players page the birthdate is also missing. :D

Sep-01-09  SamAtoms1980: <kellmano: Ha ha ha. Not a single comment on one of her games.>

Er, uh...... she has games? :-O

Feb-06-10  whiteshark: Happy Birthday, Maria!

  perfidious: <cro777: The blonde team won the April Fool’s Day blitz match in Moscow 48.5-32.5.>

They would.

Apr-01-14  ragtag: Didn't know that Magnus Carlson owns a restaurant in Moscow.
Apr-01-14  cro777: <Didn't know that Magnus Carlson owns a restaurant in Moscow>

The best ideas come as jokes.

In effect, Carlson is a new restaurant in Moscow, located on the roof of a modern business centre Central City Tower, with awesome panoramic views on the Kremlin, Moscow river, and Zamoskvorechie.

Interestingly, the restaurant is named after cartoon character Carlson, created by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. The cartoon adaptation became popularized in the Soviet Union ("Karlsson, who lives on the roof") and to this day, the adaptations are still celebrated as an integral part of the Russian cartoon industry, with Carlson being recognized as a national icon.

Apr-01-14  Refused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD8Y...

Swedish movie from 1974.

For those who are not familiar with Karlsson (a real heresy in my opinion.)

Apr-01-14  cro777: Maria Fominykh (who also was the chief organizer of the event) and Valentina Gunina achieved best individual results in the tournament scoring 8.5/9.

  fredthebear: Nice arrangements there in the video. Her son was on the ball, but the competition was not up to the task at hand. Adds another dynamic to the thought process: "If I do this move, what will my impatient partner see to do next?"
