 | | Honza Cervenka: By the way, S. Tartakower dedicated her his book "100 modern games". She was born in 1919 but she have played actively still in late 1990s. It is a sad news that she died. |

<Honza Cervenka> I heard the same quote You mentioned as being attributed to Mikhail Tal. <Karpova> I'd say, in this photo Ms.de Silans reminds of the young Ava Gardner with a touch of the looks of the young Queen Elisabeth II :-) Very pretty! |

".. She learned how to play the game when she was nine along with her brother the Baron de Silans, who later became a strong amateur. In 1932, at age thirteen, she entered her first women's French Chess Championship. In 1936, she won the championship at age seventeen. .." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanta... |

| Mar-09-12 | | JohnBoy: <checkpat: This lady was well-known in France
where she was the president of the
Chess club "Caissa" for many> - was this club in the heart of Paris?I recognize this woman as having hijacked me into playing board two in a team match in Paris in '87. I hadn't played a serious game in like eight years and when she asked me to play I consented, thinking it would be fun. She promptly puts me on the second board against, I believe, Eric Burlingame. "Sucker punched" well describes the way I felt at the moment. She was quite the queen of the scene. |

| Sep-02-15 | | Nosnibor: <fusilli> In late 1960 Chaude de Silans played in the West European Zonal Tournament for the Women`s World Championship which was held in Vranacka-Banja, Serbia. She finished fourth with 7 points from 12 games, only half a point behind the 3 joint winners. Unfortunatly in the last round after leading she lost to one of the tailenders owing to a last move time check blunder,when having a won game.At this event she probably played the best game in her career which is not in the database.

| Sep-03-15 | | larvatusprodeo: Mme Chaudé, as we called her, was the most exquisite and obliging person, and a chain smoker. I joined the Cercle Caïssa when it was situated on 2, rue Pigalle, Paris. Before then, players would meet at the Café d’Angleterre, rue Drouot. In the 1990’s the Cercle moved to rue de Mazagran, after her husband’s death. They were living in the very appartment where the Cercle was located. She was charmingly reigning over a crowd of bragging and obedient players. The atmosphere was wonderfully intense and smoky. I remember her vividly, and of her smile. She was the Lady of Chess. |

 | | perfidious: First recall reading of this player in one of Tartakower's works, long ago; by all accounts she comes across as a charming person, someone well worth meeting. |
|
| Aug-15-23 | | generror: Yes, madame is a very interesting player, holding her own in a man's man's world when few women dared doing so. I also like that "chaude" is the female form of "hot" in French. |
