| Jun-19-10 | | Fluffy: The poker picture on this page just doesn't get the job done. Wiki has a more flattering one that's actually a chess picture. Would be much nicer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almira... |

| Aug-21-10 | | whiteshark: Isn't it a bit counterintuitive that Almira <Skripchenko-Lautier> is married with Laurent <Fressinet>? Or is it just another French thingy to confuse the rest of the World? Every hint in this regard would be much appreciated. Thanks. :D |

 | | HeMateMe: From chessbase:
"Two world-class female chess players dominated the World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational in Los Angeles this year en route to making the final table. And while< Almira Skripchenko and Dinara Khaziyeva> didn’t win, they proved they’re poised for big things in poker. "Historically, chess players have proven the transition to poker to be a profitable one," writes the author. 1995 WSOP Main Event champ and two-time finalist Dan Harrington is among those who played chess before he turned to poker, as is 2008 November Niner Ylon Schwartz." |

| Jul-18-11 | | piroflip: I made a request about a year ago for Almira's horrible profile pic to be changed. I see that they have now managed to find an even worse one of her. Such is life. lol |

| Apr-27-12 | | Nightsurfer: In case that you would ask why all that fuzz about SHOGI?!

Please ban that eternal spam, and the spammer, from Nightsurfer Nobody here gives a s___ about the other variants on a site devoted to CHESS. |
|
| Apr-27-12 | | Nightsurfer: Hello <SimonWebbsTiger>, frankly spoken I don't understand you (??!!??). Chessplayers are supposed to be open-minded, they are supposed to be creative and interested in new things, the game of CHESS is no religion, and there is no such thing as CHESS AS SUCH, there are only several VERSIONS (!) of CHESS, be it the well-known version that is played conforming to the rules of FIDE (and that is just a NEW VARIANT of CHESS that only exists for round about 500 years whereas the MORE ORIGINAL version of CHESS, namely the Arab SHATRANJ, has existed for more than 800 years), be it the Chinese version XIANGQI, be it the Japanese version SHOGI, be it the Thai-version MAKRUK pp.! I think that one should see beyond one's nose - if great players like Vladimir Kramnik or Anish GIRI or Maxime VACHIER-LAGRAVE or Almira SKRIPCHENKO are interested in SHOGI then it can not be wrong to have a look at it! And if great players like GRISCHUK or Robert HUEBNER are interested in the Chinese version of CHESS, namely XIANGQI, that can not be bad either! And therefore it is worth to check it out why those great players do not stubbornly stick to one variant of CHESS but why they have a look at the whole UNIVERSUM of CHESS. Maybe those great players have become great players because they have great minds?! Those people know what they are doing - since it is a given fact that, by thinking out of the box and by learning CHESS VARIANTS, one even gets better in our beloved version of CHESS that is governed by the body of FIDE. Therefore everybody who is a REAL AFICIONADO of CHESS - namely of CHESS that depicts the whole picture of CHESS with all its variants - is interested in variants of CHESS as well. And therefore those different VERSIONS of CHESS are a topic for ChessGames.com as well! Once more again: people with a standing like Vladimir Kramnik - who is interested in THAI-Chess MAKRUK as well, please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makruk - can not be that wrong, right? Dear <SimonWebbsTiger>, there is an ages-old saying in LATIN language: <Si tacuisses philosophus mansisses ...> ... |

| | HeMateMe: What stakes do you suppose they play for, in a quiet evening at home, after opening a bottle of wine? |
|
| Aug-23-12 | | Wild Bill: Congratulations to Mlle. Skripchenko on winning her fifth French women's title today. With tomorrow's round left to play, she is a point and a half ahead of her nearest rival, Sophie Milliet. |
|
| Oct-18-12 | | Nightsurfer: La belle <Almira Skripchenko> has joined with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and with the Superstars of Shogi, Yoshiharu Habu and Toshiyuki Moriuchi, in Tokyo at the end of September 2012 in order to battle out one more mixed event of Chess and <Shogi>, herewith a short feature by <ChessBase>, please check out http://chessbase.de/nachrichten.asp... , and herewith a page where the chessgames of that very event of <Chess Meets Shogi Tokyo 2012> can be replayed: http://www.checkmatetokyo.com/index... . A huge audience has watched the battle of crossover-chess that has been covered by Japanese TV. |
|
| Oct-19-12 | | Nightsurfer: La belle <Almira Skripchenko> is well on her way to follow in the footsteps of Larry Kaufman who - as <ughaibu> has pointed out in this forum here on <Sep-01-03> - is the top rated gaijin shogi player for many years. |
