| Jun-09-04 | | beenthere240: Instead of checking photos, why not look at some of Lilit's games -- for example game 24 (above) has a wonderful turnaround. |
|
| Jun-11-04 | | dac1990: How do you pronounce this guys name? 6 consecutive consonants is a lot to chew on. |
|
| Jun-11-04 | | Keshishian: Mek-ert-eech-eean |
|
| Jun-11-04 | | Larsker: The Russians are generally quite relaxed about vowels. They have common words beginning with LG- og SR- . ZRJA is the word for "to no purpose". VSE means "all". Most words are however quite straightforward to pronounce.
I'm trying to get a grasp of the Russian language, so I'm reading books about the etymology of their words.
It's surprising to see how closely related Russian is to other West European languages. The word Russia itself comes from Scandinavia. The differences are not as big as we sometimes make them. |
|
| Jun-11-04 | | Knezh: <Larsker> As a Russian speaker, can i help you :)? |
|
| Jun-11-04 | | Benzol: <dac1990> dac, Lilit is a girl! |
|
| Jun-12-04 | | percyblakeney: There's a photo of miss Mkrtchian at http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... (approximately at the middle of the page). |
|
| Jun-13-04 | | EeEk: Lilit is actually quite good looking, a lot better now than how she used to look. |
|
| Jun-13-04 | | HailM0rphy: ?? Same Eeek that's Admin on ICC? |
|
| Jun-14-04 | | nikolaas: <<dac1990> How do you pronounce this guys name? 6 consecutive consonants is a lot to chew on.>
I know a word with 8! Angstschreeuw. It's dutch, just like herfstschrijver. |
|
| Jun-14-04 | | PinkPanther: I saw a guy one time whose last name had about 8 or 9 letters but not one vowel. |
|
| Jun-14-04 | | HailM0rphy: LOL again
And to think we almost had 3 pages of kibitzing..I'm sure he woulda been very pleased to see all that conversation.. |
|
| Jun-15-04 | | nikolaas: <PinkPanther> Do you remember who it was? |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | nikolaas: < I saw a guy one time whose last name had about 8 or 9 letters but not one vowel. > Maybe Vrhfstdt? |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | acirce: G Vrhfstdt? |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | nikolaas: Indeed. Was it this person? |
|
| Jul-13-04 | | Larsker: Not that difficult.
Make a thick, labial M: Mmmmmm. Then "cart"
Mmm-cart-chian. |
|
| Jul-13-04 | | nikolaas: <acirce> How did you know G. Vrhfstdt? |
|
| Jul-13-04 | | acirce: If we're talking about the same person it's not that hard if you are interested in politics, especially the recent EU president debate. |
|
| Jul-13-04 | | nikolaas: Yes, but there he's called Verhofstadt. I was very surprised you knew his campaign slogan (how foolish it may sound, in his campaign, he used the name Vrhfstdt). |
|
| Jul-13-04 | | acirce: I didn't know that actually, I was guessing. |
|
| Jul-13-04 | | nikolaas: I'm happy he didn't make it (though I doubt the one they elected is better). |
|
| Sep-25-05 | | percyblakeney: The best performances in the European Club Cup:
Mkrtchian 2660
Dzagnidze 2651
Korbut 2635
Some other players:
Cramling 2562
Stefanova 2464

Zhukova 2341 |
|
| Mar-06-06 | | percyblakeney: After following the discussions on this site for many months I once upon a time finally began posting thanks to the Mkrtchian page. Some users kept posting old photos and repeatedly complained about her looks, and it ended up with their posts and mine being deleted... Anyway Mkrtchian is 24, gets closer to 2500 on every new FIDE list, and has been looking like this for many years: http://www.chessbase.de/2004/dresde... |
|
| Mar-06-06 | | blingice: That is a much better picture. |
