WIM Vesna Rožič won the Slovenian Women’s Championship in 2007 and 2010. She passed away at the early age of 26, the victim of a very aggressive cancer. She had just graduated from medical school. I knew her since we were 18, so this was quite a shock. 😔

@LilithsWords@MisterMikeTexas I don't get on X that often but thank you Lilith. I hope that you and your sister will go on with your lives and live a life worth living. God bless you, Lilith.
One of my favourite Bobby Fischer photos. He can barely contain his smile as they analyse the just-finished game 6 of the match with Larsen, completing another 6-0 win.
