I agree! Her articles are excellent. Not only is she a very skillful player, she is also a great teacher.

If I remember correctly, she was writing or planning to write a chess kama sutra book some time ago. (www.pogonina.com) I wonder what became of that. So far I have not seen it in bookstores.

"Girls must feel the coach believes in their potential." -Pogonina

Although she feels the role of a coach is vital for the success of a chess team,
she makes this distinction between women's teams and men's teams:

<<"In women's chess the role of a coach is very important.
Girls are usually more emotional, and they must feel that the coach believes in their potential.
In the men's team the role of a coach is less dominant.">>
