| Jan-31-10 | | waustad: What confused me is that they are married and live in Ohio, but he is the #3 rated player for Germany. |

| May-13-12 | | fokers13: <danielbryant> probably much better ir 39.Re8 followed by d8=Q..... |
|
| May-13-12 | | inmate5: <DanielBryant: If 38...Rd5, 39.Nxa6 Rxd7 40.Rxd7 Nxd7 41.Nc7.> Good luck with that position against Zatonskih ;-) Instead, any rook move wins instantly (except for 39.Rxf8). |

| May-13-12 | | King Death: < waustad: What confused me is that they are married and live in Ohio, but he is the #3 rated player for Germany.> It's probably FIDE residency, a player has to be in a country 3 years before he or she can play for the new country so he was listed as German at the time. This used to be just 1 year but I bet it got changed after all of the ex Soviets started leaving. |

| May-13-12 | | FearNoEvil: Most of them want to keep the foreign status because it helps them get invitations to FIDE events. Where title norms have requirements that American players play a certain number of foreign players. |

| May-13-12 | | King Death: <FearNoEvil> If you read this I checked your profile and I never heard of you so I looked up your games here and only found this one (J Johnson vs J Cline, 1979) but what a game! I even forgot that I kibitzed on it awhile ago! It must be old age or something. |

 | | Sneaky: For those who don't get the pun, understand that there is an American sitcom of the same name, and furthermore these two are married and have a five year old daughter. Maybe she'll see this page one day and have a little laugh. Oh and perhaps I should add, it is Mother's Day in the USA and other civilized nations :) |

| May-13-12 | | DanielBryant: Ah, yes, I do feel a little stupid now. |

|
| Jul-27-13 | | waustad: Responding to my own post, they do actually live in Germany now. If I understand correctly, AZ got her US status while she was a student in Cleveland and then moved to Long Island for a while. Anyone with more information is welcome to correct me. |
