Hey everyone,

I haven't actually been writing much to this newsgroup because I've been
spending so much time playing chess at yahoo.com.

There is just this one thing that I'm quite curious about. Recently, I came
across someone who calls himself/herself "Chessqueen" on the yahoo chess
pages. Lately more and more people have been talking about this mysterious
person. Why all this interest? 3 reasons:

1) Well, this person has declared that she's the Chessqueen who appears in
each issue of ChessLife magazine.
2) This person has a phenomenal rating on the yahoo chess servers. I think
it's somewhere in the region of over 10 000.
and while I'm aware that ratings can be doctored, an exmination of the
detalis of her rating reveals that
3) After more than a 100 games, Chessqueen has not been defeated. I have
never come across anyone with that kind of record, especially in the yahoo
games environment, where everyone has beaten someone and you're more than
likely to find your match in the advanced lounges, especially when 1 minute
and 2 minute games are played regularly.

So who is this Chessqueen? I'm not sure of how good the actual Chessqueen
who's found in the pages of ChessLife magazine is, but the Chessqueen in
yahoo is reportedly amazing. It's almost like a myth. I myself wouldn't have
believed she existed if I hadn't seen her lurking around the yahoo chess
pages myself 2 nights ago. It's said that she makes mince-meat out of even
the most accomplished players on the server. She always plays quickly and is
never short of time, even in 1 minute games, which eliminates the
speculation that it's someone on a computer, as it would take time to play
the move on a program, wait for the reply and then play it on the server.
She hangs around in all the lounges and challenges anyone. Is she a
Grandmaster is disguise? Is she the World Champion himself? But surely,
these people can be beaten in 1 minute chess with a cable modem? I spoke to
one guy who uses a cable modem (himself with a +154-30 record) and he said t
hat he was mated in under 1 minute when he played Chessqueen in a 1 minute
lightning match.

Have any one of you come across her before, and if so, are all the rumours
true?

One more point of interest that was raised to me by my esteemed colleague,
the one who calls himself "xxxmovie" on the yahoo pages, and is himself
unbeaten after 5 matches - Has Robert J. Fischer discovered the
internet..... ?
