Dear chess friends,
I am arbiter in Benidorm under 2000 elo. This girl has now 6 points in 6 games, without rating. It’s strange because she say that she has no rating. She is inscribed like Svetlana Kiseleva. Can anyone help us?
Thanks.

girl? or woman?
Wow! What a Wig!!! Susan wheres the picture of you and Tal sportin the Cookie Wigs!!! hehehe.
Don’t players have to show some official ID or some other kind of identity proof at registration?
That should be the easiest way to confirm/establish this player’s identity.
It’s Jonathan Speelman
Maybe she’s just a good player who’s never bothered playing in “official” tournaments before. Is that such a stretch? Nobody ever heard of a dark horse? When I went into animation at the age of 35 with no experience….everyone asked the same question….”who is this guy?” Bleh…you won’t find anything on her I imagine thats more spooky than scooby doo. Good for her

Wow!
After 6 rounds she has a ratingperformance of Elo 2746.
If this carries on, you gotta take a closer look at this US lady, Susan!

Why can’t the organizer ask for her passport?

why can’t she refuse to show him her passport?
Frankly, the “girl” looks about 50 year of age. Even 10-20 years ago there was a ton of candidate masters in Russia, Ukraine etc who had no FIDE rating whatsoever. For a good Soviet candidate who played on internet time to time to keep a reasonable shape, a 6-0 performance in a U2000 tournament should be considered as normal. If 6-0 is his only concern, the TD has to be a paranoid, while S.P. sho up her double standards
I recognize her as Kislana Svetleva from St. Petersburg
She draw her 7th game today. Rating performance droped to Elo 2374, according to the website of the organizers.
draw in 14 moves…
