Natalia Pogonina: <dx9293> c) I am not the one to impose chess on my child. Neither am I planning to forbid to play it professionally.

Natalia Pogonina: This is ridiculous. We actually had a friendly conversation with our team (Ugra) during the last Rus. Ch. Someone joked that we should recall how to convert B+K. Obviously, we didn't do it and reviewed some rook endgames instead. Unfortunately, Anna (my teammate) wasn't ...

Natalia Pogonina: Yet another impressive performance by Ju Wenjun. I guess we will have a new female GM soon. Good news :) Btw, Gunina is applying too.

Natalia Pogonina: <In 2013, she and her sister left Russia to play chess for Poland.> Really??? :) That was an April Fool's joke by one of the Polish websites, afaik. She never mentioned it to me, and I don't see her in the transfers: http://ratings.fide.com/fedchange.p...

Natalia Pogonina: I might be wrong, but I had a bet on Carlsen for 3000 and it looks like the payoff was 3000+, while it should have been 6000+. Maybe the system rated Kramnik and Carlsen as equal firsts (unlike it says in the terms)? Anyway, great leg, congrats to all the winners :)

  AylerKupp: AylerKupp: I would also like to thank you for making the time in your busy schedule and providing us at chessgames.com the opportunity to play a game with you, and to wish you well in the future. I will follow your career with great interest. And from now on I will refer to a Ba8, blocked by a Pc6 but ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice, as a “Pogonina bishop”. Almost as good as a Dragon bishop! :-)

  WinKing: Thanks for giving us the opportunity to play a game with you. I smiled when I saw your game against GM Kanep. You had to feel confident that you would come away with no worse than a draw & possibly a win. Good luck the rest of the way in Gibraltar. :)
Jan-31-11  kevins55555: It is a draw. Tiring, right?

  morfishine: <Ms. Pogonina> It was very special to have the opportunity to play against you! While an odd sort of opening, I think the game provided the chance to gain positional insight and thus elevate our chess understanding. It did for me. (I wanted one last check with either 58.Qe3+ or 59.Qe3+ hoping you would fall into <Nc5>, but that would never happen, no, too risky?).

I hope you were able to take something from this game. Best of luck in your future contests. Morfishine

Feb-01-11  Nightranger: Thanks for the game Natalia. Thanks for taking the time to play against us. I know your schedule has been full. I found the game interesting and educational.

  WinKing: Congratulations on winning Gold Medal in ETCC 2011. Your team should be very proud!
Nov-15-11  Refused: Congratulations on your Gold at the Euros. GM Pogonina

But can you give an explanation why your male counterparts on Team Russia produced a rather disappointing result?

Ok, the difference in term of playing strength between the Russian Womens' Team and the rest of the field is much bigger than on the mens' part, and anything but gold would have been a big surprise. But still, with such an "Allstar line-up" a medal must have been the minimum aim at the mens' tournament.
