    Beautiful town, although hopefully not covered in snow this time of year. 🙂 I’ve met Susan Polgar and her sisters. Played against them in a simul in Las Vegas.

      hi Dan, but that is Sophia and she looked like a 14 yr old girl there 🙂

    Yes. Sofia is the pretty one and the one I like, not Judith. She looks young but is actually in her 30s.

      Oh! I was absolutely sure you said previously that you were ‘in love’ with Judith and that she was the ‘beautiful’ one. 🙂
