Nov-21-05  stanleys: She is very beautiful and very strong.I played some games against her at kasparovchess.com and won a very ridiculous one:1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 dc4 3.e3 Nf6 4.Bc4 Bg4 5.Bf7+ Kf7 6.Ne5+ Kg8 7.Kg4 Kg4 8.Qb3+ 1:0

Milliet, Sophie
France
WGM
Current Rating: 2309
Birthday: 1983-11-02

Nov-22-05  Udit Narayan: Thank you for the photos <chessgames.com>! She looks really good in the second picture.
Nov-22-05  Udit Narayan: I would not mind doing a post-mortem with her.
Nov-22-05  Akavall: I don't find her as good looking as Kosteniuk, just my opinion.
Nov-22-05  Udit Narayan: <Akavall> You can't be serious. But you are entitled to your own opinion, I guess.
Nov-22-05  Udit Narayan: I also seem to prefer blondes (it's somewhat instinctive for me).
Nov-22-05  Akavall: I don't have a preference for brunettes or blondes. I find Kosteniuk and Skripcheno to be the best looking chess players.

I am having trouble believing that you are serious. ;)

Nov-22-05  Udit Narayan: <Akavall> I respect your opinion, and you should too mine. I just said that Milliet belongs in the group of the most beautiful-looking female chess players.
Nov-23-05  Akavall: <Udit Narayan> I respect your opinion.

You said <<Akavall> You can't be serious.> and I replied in the same manner.

I don't find Milliet to be as good looking as Kosteniuk or Skripchenko, but is just MY opinion. You can think other-wise(like you do) and it's great.

Nov-23-05  Udit Narayan: Then we have no disagreement.

BTW, this is my favorite pic of her (which chessgames.com generously provided a link for):

http://www.chessbase.com/images2/20...

Dec-16-05  stanleys: Sophie got a woman grandmaster title in 2004
Dec-16-05  who: <stanleys> your 5.Bxf7+! is an improvement on Deutsch vs Koni, 1925.
Dec-16-05  stanleys: 5...Bh5 ,played by Koni is a well-known mistake.Be6 is the only move
Jan-07-06  Udit Narayan: She needs a photo on her page as she is very beautiful.
Feb-05-06  FICSwoodpusher: I have heard of the chess server Kasparovchess.com. Is it still up and running?
Feb-05-06  aw1988: No.

Feb-05-06  mack: You know, we do no good for the reputation of chessplayers in general when we all salivate furiously over the nearest woman who plays the game.
Feb-05-06  Gregor Samsa Mendel: <mack>--What reputation? The non-chessplaying world regards us as sexless geeks, when in reality we are sex-crazed geeks. Not much of a difference.
Jun-02-06  PivotalAnorak: <GSM> I just read your post: LOL !!! So very true
Jun-02-06  PivotalAnorak: By the way here are pictures of the French players at the Olympiad, both men and women: http://www.europe-echecs.com/ click for instance on "Olympiades Ronde 11" and go to the bottom of the page.
Jun-13-06  stanleys: I like this picture of Sophie :http://chesspro.ru/events2/olymp06-... (scroll down to see her)
