so the person who taught me chess, I do not know if she is active on chess.com anymore and I never found out her username, is now the in the top ten best female players in New Zealand! when I looked at the FIDE ratings for NZ to see where I would be if I started a professional chess career, I looked at the top 500 and guess who was at #111... my old teacher! I was like "No way is that really her?" it must be, because that name is not exactly common, is it? I clicked on her FIDE profile and saw her FIDE rating is 2005! I was like no way! where is she in the women's league? I expected her to be up there, but in the top 10??? I beat her once when she was blindfolded, but in bullet, classical and rapid, she has never lost that I have actually seen! I will not release her name for privacy reasons, but she knows who she is, and if she sees this, I am amazed at what she has accomplished! I want to play a game of 2|1 with her to see if I can beat her yet, cause I almost beat her in a game of bullet once, but did not see her knight sneaking up, with 5 seconds on the clock she put her queen up and said "Mate"
