Re: WIM title for Sabrina Chevannes
Very impressive. She's clearly playing well!
She finished on 5/9 in the US Masters, with only one defeat and finishing ahead of several GMs, including Josh Friedel, John Fedorowicz and Alex Shabalov!

Re: WIM title for Sabrina Chevannes
An impressive run of form and a well deserved title.
Quiz time. Sabrina is the second "English-raised" female player who has come onto the scene since 1993 (when the 4NCL started) who has broken the 2200 bar. That is to say, we "knew about" Harriet, Jovank and Ruth back in 1993, even though they were not yet 2200+.
Who was the first?
