      Dynamic pairs?

      Grandmaster Pair, Husband and Wife


      From the Gibraltar website www.gibraltarchesscongress.com

      Left to right: Anna Cramling-Bellon, Pia Cramling, Weronica Socko

      Sitting at the board in the picture is little Anna Cramling-Bellon, daughter of GM Juan Manuel Bellon and GM Pia Cramling (who is also in the photo). Anna made her international competition debut on 29 January here in Gibraltar. On the right, having some fun with Pia Cramling is Weronica Socko, daughter of GM Bartosz Socko and GM Monika Socko. All four parents hold the full GM title. How many other children can boast two GM parents? Other than Weronica’s siblings that is. We can think of maybe one more double GM husband and wife with children but haven’t thought about it too deeply yet. Maybe there are more – can you think of any?

      Here is the list of husband and wife GM pairs off the top of my head:

      GM Xie Jun – GM Wu Shaobin
      GM Zhu Chen – GM Mohamad Al-Modiahki
      GM Monika Socko – GM Bartosz Socko
      GM Pia Cramling – GM Juan Manuel Bellon

      Are there more?
