Jul-17-08 | | Petrosianic: <paulalbert> <Are we willing to accept the Armageddon Match result? First, it's not up to us.> Maybe I phrased it badly. I didn't mean that it was up to us to render the decision. What I really meant was "Are we the public going to care about a title that's decided in that way?" |
|
Jul-17-08 | | Phoenix: Maybe a better question today is whether we, the public, should recognize Anna's birthday just because she was "born" on this day. Happy birthday, Anna! |
|
Jul-17-08 | | Riverbeast: Happy Birthday, Anna -
She's won the championship of the Ukraine and the USA...Maybe she should now move to another country and see if she can win that championship also :-) |
|
Jul-17-08 | | dx9293: It sounds strange to say this, but it seems to me that Anna Zatonskih is a little bit underrated as a chessplayer. She has a ~2450 Elo, but she doesn't get much mention as one of the top female players in the world. Happy Birthday! |
|
Jul-17-08 | | Travis Bickle: Hello Anna! She is a very nice person and good chess player! I used to play her at 2 minute blitz Master Challenge on the old WCN chess site. I also had the priviledge to have a chess lesson with Anna on The Ruy Lopez! |

 | | JointheArmy: <Travis Bickle> WCN was a terrible website run by incompetent admins and miserable mods who never became GM's. So glad they failed and went out of business. |
|
Jul-17-08 | | Travis Bickle: Yeah But I got to play Susan Polgar at blitz, Larry Christiansen, Lev Pshakis, many more GM's and Irina Krush. They had banter chess where Masters would talk out their moves, with audio for Broadcasts and lectures. Tell me of a better site where you had such close contact with chess pro's? |

Sep-16-08 | | kramputz: Blitz games are the comedy of chess.
Years ago blitz games were outlawed in the Soviet Union. |
|
Apr-25-09 | | Dredge Rivers: Please, Anna, bury the hatchet with Irina Krush. (But not in her head!) :) |
|
May-09-09 | | zdigyigy: Anna is beautiful!! |
|
May-11-09 | | Wild Bill: Get well soon, Anna. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Anna must have duel USA/Russia citizenship? She has played for the USA women's Olympiad, and is playing here for Russia in team competition. |
|
Oct-11-09 | | Caissanist: Since she wasn't born in Russia, I wouldn't think that she was ever a Russian citizen. There don't seem to be any rules against representing a different country, so long as there are no objections from the federation you normally represent. |
|
Oct-13-09 | | Wild Bill: 8 1/2 out of nine!!
Congratulations, Anna. |
|
Oct-13-09 | | Phoenix: Absolutely an outstanding score. |
|
Oct-13-09 | | Travis Bickle: Congratulations Anna Z!! 8.5/9 What an oustanding score!!! I used to play blitz with you on the old WCN. Do you remember? ; P |
|

 | | Open Defence: <Travis> I never thought you were the Blitz and Tell type ;-p |
|
Oct-14-09 | | Travis Bickle: OD Anna was very friendly and used to chat with me for a few moments when i said hello. She was very personable! ; P |
|
Oct-14-09 | | laskersteinitz: OD, very clever word play there, hehehe! |
|
Oct-15-09 | | Winter: Anna the Great! |
|

 | | GrahamClayton: Prior to the start of the 2009 US Women's Championship, Anna gave a 5 board simultaneous blindfold exhibition, finishing with a +5, =0, -0 score. This is believed to be the record for the most number of games played simultaneously blindfold by a female chess player in a scheduled and regulated exhibition. A report and video can be found at: http://www.blindfoldchess.net/blog/... |

 | | HeMateMe: Anna Z finishes 26th at Main Rapid, highest among women (World champion A. Kosteniuk finishd 49th) with 8 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. She finished around the middle of the field, not too bad. |
|
Nov-13-10
 | | HeMateMe: anna is seeded 18th at the ladies world championship. GL Anna! No Irina Krush, unfortunately. C. Baginskaite is in the tournament for the USA; she is seeded No. 49. |
