coopershawk 15-Jan-11, 22:32	Follow-up question for Rilke Are there pairs of male identical twins who were or are Grandmasters?
chrisobee 16-Jan-11, 01:13	Twins who were are/were GM's I'm almost certain no male twins have ever both been GM's, indeed I'm struggling to think of 2 brothers who have both been GM's ! There are a few players with the same surname such as Sokolov ( Andrei and Ivan) and Kuzmin ( Alexi and Gennadi) but I'm not even sure they are related ? For anyone who uses Twitter Alexandra Kosteniuk is worth following : twitter.com There are quite a few other good chess sources on there also.
rilke 31-Mar-11, 15:16	Humpy Koneru From India. She has the record for being the youngest woman who ever become Grandmaster ( at the age of 15).
