Kibitzer's Corner
< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 7 OF 7 ·  Later Kibitzing>
Apr-30-18  ChessHigherCat: <Fluffy: That's good work, Nazi. It was a great win. Keep it up. <morfishine: Congratulations Grandmaster Paikidze for winning the US Championship!>

<She's a WGM, not GM, or maybe that's what you meant to say?>

It's more relevant what he didn't want to say, namely "That's good work, Nazi!"

Apr-30-18  Fluffy: Let's please not start yet one more tired thread that jabs at her name. You must know she was named after her grandmother and it means "gentle" in their language. And yes, I do note the irony of her name's meaning with the more well-known definition in the history books.

I prefer to focus on congratulating her championship win. You're welcome to join in.

Apr-30-18  Mikhail1962: Cograt
May-02-18  UncleBent: Does Nazi plan to play any more chess -- outside of the US Women's Championship? Before last month, she had not played an OTB game since last June. I assume she will play in this summer/fall's Olympiad, but, then again, maybe not. Does anyone know anything about her business? Is it chess-related?
May-02-18  nok: <Cograt> I don't wanna be a grammar Paikidze but that should probably read "congrat(s)".
Jun-11-18  UncleBent: Nazi will NOT play for the US Team in this fall's Olympiad, according to Irina Krush. I am assuming we won't see her at a chessboard, again, until next April at the 2019 US Championships.
Feb-22-19  UncleBent: She will not be defending her US Women's Championship at next month's event. Has she retired from competitve chess?
Oct-27-21  Whitehat1963: Maybe she has decided to become a fashion model. From her Twitter account. She wants to know what you think:

I think her head is two sizes too large for her body. She should eat more.

  Korora: That name, though. She must have been beat up every day at school.
Mar-20-23  stone free or die: <Nazi [feminine name] - One who does charm, cute.>

https://drlogy.com/baby-names/meani....

Mar-20-23  stone free or die: I also believe the name is pronounced differently from the political party.

You can find a few tweets from Nazi herself asking not to beat her up over her name - fwiw.

  perfidious: Far as I know, the forename is pronounced NAH-see.

  fredthebear: You are wrong again <perfidious>. You shouldn't trust your memory anymore.

It's a non-subject but stone needs the attention. sfod is in the bad habit of using one source to change the course of chess history.

She has addressed the topic many times in the past. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Naz%C3%...

Double checking facts is too much to ask of these two crazed Rogoff posters.

Mar-21-23  stone free or die: Good ol' <fred>, out gunning to avenge his grievances agin'. It gets pretty predictable, and oh so boring.

* * * * *

Here's the IPA for her name, in Georgian: nɑzi pʼɑikʼiˈdzɛ (courtesy wiki)

Here's Nazi - ˈnät-sē ˈnat- (courtesy merriam webster)

Here's a IPA vocalizer:

  fredthebear: This is one stupid stone at the bottom of the rock pile.

Stop trying to do everything your way for attention. Pronounce her name the way SHE pronounces it!! She has explained this to the chess world hundreds of times. It's old news. You're trying to raise a dead horse for your own satisfaction. How SHE pronounces it is all that matters here.

Mar-21-23  stone free or die: A pox on (clueless) ill mannered bears...

  fredthebear: The rest of us understand that trying to tell someone how they should pronounce their own name is in extremely poor taste, but it's par for the course with the big pretender wannabe Z.
Mar-22-23  Z free or die: <Get thee to a nunnery, go. Farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs tarry, tarry as a fool; wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go, and quickly too. Farewell.>
Mar-22-23  stone free or die: Z, you speak for me!
May-06-23  stone free or die: Anyone recognize the player on the left?

  perfidious: Not offhand, but she easily merits a place over at Doll.
May-08-23  stone free or die: Not sure why the photo has that blue hue, but the player on the left is a very young Nazi Paikidze.

(The <CG> photo above is also a young, though older, Nazi - dating from 2010. If <CG> were top-shelf it would denote the year of all the player photos for reference, imo)
