Letter # Subj: Information about Chess Date: 10/16/01 5:20:36 PM Pacific Daylight Time From: Nealy (USA) To: service@chess-poster.com Hi, I am looking for some information about Chess in the 770's when the women 1st mention of Chess players came about, what country was it in when this happened? If there is any other information that you think may be helpful please let me know! Thank you for your time, Nealy chess-poster.com Hello Nealy Although in the history of Chess on our website there is text showing the year 770 as the first mention of women playing Chess , we found another reference to this topic placing it in the year 802 A.D. It reads as follows: Women and Chess "The first mention of a woman chessplayer comes from an Islamic corespondence between Harun ar Rashid and Nicephorus in 802 A.D. Harun wrote that he purchased a slave girl noted for her skill at Chess." "The first women's tournament was organized by the Sussex Chess Association in 1884. A Chess club for lady players lasted in New York from 1894 to 1949."

CHESS GODDESSES Women in Chess A well-played chess game, like a beautiful woman, is music to the soul. Articles About Judit Polgar May 3, 2000 Suara Merdeka "Independen-Objektif-Tanpa Prasangka" JUDIT UNSURE OF PRO CAREER AFTER MARRIAGE SANUR, Bali (JP) : The past ten years must have been a memorable period for top women chess player Judit Polgar of Hungary. In 1991, at age 14, she earned her Grand Master (GM) title making her the youngest chess grand master in history. But then love came calling and soon she might have to consider her future career as professional chess player. The choice must be the toughest one for any woman chess player. There have been seven women world chess champions but several of them never married. Except for one, the others never gave birth while they were world champion. The exception was Judit's eldest sister Zsuzsa Polgar. Zsuzsa, 30, gave birth to a baby boy named Tom, at Beth Israel Hospital in New York City in March, 1999, while she still held the world champion title. She lost her title to Grand Master Xie Jun of China three months later. Judit's second sister, Sofia, an International Master (IM), is married to grand master Yona Kosashvili, a Georgian.

49. Jerome Bibuld And The 100 Free Rating Points Murder In Russia in which he again defends the award by FIDE of 100 Free Rating Points to Every Woman chess Player in the World except for zsuzsa polgar. http://www.samsloan.com/bibuld-p.htm

Jerome Bibuld and the 100 Free Rating Points Jerome Bibuld has posted a letter under the newsgroup heading: "Re: Another Murder In Russia" in which he again defends the award by FIDE of "100 Free Rating Points to Every Woman Chess Player in the World except for Zsuzsa Polgar." Although this is a story going back to Dubai 1986, it is important that this story be repeated because it demonstrates how easily a person can be cheated of their hard-won victories at the chess board. Jerome Bibuld, author of the infamous "Bibud's Blacklist". It needs to be pointed out that Mr. Bibuld is hardly unbiased. Every two years, Mr. Bibuld is appointed by FIDE as a paid arbiter to the World Chess Olympiad, in whatever far flung country of the world it happens to be held. These international trips which Mr. Bibuld gets every two years are clearly a reward for his being a hatchet-man for FIDE. Mr. Bibuld is such a poor arbiter that almost every major chess organizer in America has banned him from their events. This is why you will see Mr. Bibuld, a self-proclaimed champion of the oppressed, defending almost every atrocity committed by FIDE everywhere in the world.

Larry Snyder won the Expert section in fine style scoring 5-1. This result will put Larry comfortably over 2100 as he continues his quest to reach 2200, a goal he briefly reached in 1997.

Interesting Stories in Chess Media Thomas Lin, " Schooled by the Queen of Chess ," Queens' Tribune (online version). Interesting piece on GM Susan (Zsuzsa) Polgar's tireless efforts at promoting chess in Queens, New York. The four-time Women's World Champion is a resident of Queens and in case you're wondering, she still plays chess. She recently gave a 70-board simultaneous exhibition in Armenia which included an International Master. She won 69 games and the only draw was to no, not the IM but her business manager FM Paul Truong. The article is very interesting and covers material about Polgar's life that one doesn't normally find in countless other interviews. We asked of her rationale for her chess club in Queens, she stated, "I really wanted to give an opportunity to the community not needing to go to Manhattan, if they wanted to get a game of chess or instruction," Polgar said. Polgar will make her debut on the U.S. Olympiad team in Minorca, Spain this fall. She is part of an Olympiad training team led by FM Truong. Goran Tomic (interview with WGM Alexandra Kosteniuk), "

Humpy wished him the best to win the Zimbabwe match and Rahul encouraged her to get the Third Norm. “I used to play Chess in my Childhood, but I have lost interest in Chess, as my brother used to defeat me in almost all games.” Dravid recalled his childhood experience. Humpy (2539) is practicing Chess in Pentium III Laptop Computer for Hours together, with the concentration focused on opening Strategies. Starting with the Normal Openings, Humpy is trying to play differently, applying new techniques. “My Father and Myself, we both are trying hard to achieve my Goal. For the 3rd and Final Norm, we are studying different opening strategies. “ Earlier, Humpy has set the record of being the Youngest Woman Grand Master.

USCF EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTION SAM SLOAN: (Women's Chess Committee received two e-mail from a candidate. First one contained candidate's program overall and second one was with the answers. In this situation we deside to publish the part of a program that addresses candidate's view to the future of women chess as an addition to his answers.) Here are my campaign issues which I intend to raise: 1. One Man One Vote (women will not be allowed to vote, of course). Question #1: On one point, I must agree: Don Schultz did keep one of his 1996 campaign promises, when he promised to upgrade the US Championship. The problem is that he did such a good job of this that we cannot afford it. Back in 1996, when Schultz ran for USCF President, the US Championship cost $75,000 per year. Now it costs $230,000 per year. (I am speaking from memory. I reserve the right to change these estimates). The sum of $230,000 per year is extravagant and needs to be cut in half. Either we hold the event every other year or hold a smaller and less expensive tournament every year. The fact is that few USCF members have much interest in the US Championship. If you took a poll, hardly any USCF members would even know who the current US Champion is. On the other hand, members are directly affected by the quality of Chess Life and other membership services. Our primary duty is to see that the members get their $40 dollars worth.

ChessChick's Links: Women Players On The Web ChessChick's Guide To Girl Stuff The Pillowfight: Packing Bricks At the same time the World Chess Championship was going on in Las Vegas last year (1999), on the other side of the world Xie Jun defeated Alisa Gallimova in a match which may (or may not) be for the title of Women's World Champion. If you think the (predominately male) World Chess Championship was a mess, then wait 'til you hear how the Women's World Chess Championship is going. Let's start at the beginning, a couple of years ago, with Zsuzsa (Susan) Polgar as reigning Women's World Champion. Alisa Gallimova and Xie Jun were suppose to play a match to determine who would be her challenger. The match was set for China. Even though FIDE rules state that no one can be forced to play in their opponent's country in a title match, FIDE defaulted Gallimova when she refused to play in China. FIDE then declared that Xie Jun would be Polgar's challenger. FIDE dragged it's feet setting up the title match. A year, at least, passed and Polgar, who had been delaying starting a family until after the title match, went ahead with family plans. She gave birth to a healthy boy. She needed 3 months to recuperate between giving birth and playing for the title according to her doctor. (Nevermind trying to
