Master Irina Krush
She was the US Women’s Chess Championship in 1998 and 2007. She showed up at the Chess & Checkers at Central Park this past Sunday. First she did lecture then played simul. Golfer was one of the simulers. Unforutnately after 12th move he had to abandoned the game, we had a date.
Krush is quite attractive, talked clearly with nice diction. All in all, is a very normal young lady acting her age. In Mortal Games the Turbulent Garry Kasparo, Fred Waitzkin mentioned some wired behaviors of the chess prodigies, Gata Kamsky was one.
