 | | Maatalkko: It's like the U.S. board 2 is a Super Smash Bros. character with a special move. Except instead of "Falcon Punch!" it's "Irina Krush!" |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Kat Lahno played a 157 move draw against T-Kos, and the Ukranians held Russia to a 2-2 tie. The T sister had all the winning chances, but couldn't get the full point. That's LARGE, Kat! |

| Sep-09-12 | | joupajou: Congrats, Natalia! Wonderful olympics, great games.
I was just wondering, in game 7 vs Anna Ushenina, what was your "master plan" with move 29... Rc8? Sorry if this has already been discussed, I'm way too lazy now to read all earlier kibitzing. Once again: congrats! You're my hero! |
