Where is she putting all those trophys. Awesome.
Looks like Alisa is gonna be a beautiful woman, as she is already one of the prettiest chess players. So, if she continues to improve in chess, in dome years we’ll have another GM beauty, that’s fantastic 😉
Congratulations to Alisa! We would love to hear from Alisa about how she studies, prepares for big tournaments, etc.
Interesting that the original poster included Alisa’s “highest ever rating” too. That is good info.
Without success, I have urged the USCF to add the Highest Ever Rating onto its MSA web display (which displays current rating info for one player at a time).

Susan, who else are in the team?
Only this three nice girls or more?
There are many more that will be published. I publish them as soon as I receive the photo and info from each player.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar
