Go Irina!!
Why russian girls are not invited?. I think the same is happening in men’s side (see Morelia-Linares and Wijk except for Kramnik)
Just a note, the official site uses the newest rating, not the old one.
Hey! Sims 2!! Neat! Believe it or not, if you watch the chess pieces being moved when the Sims are playing, it will play out the game Fischer-Euwe, 1960. Caro-Kann, Panno-Botnivik attack.
