If A Giri became World Chess Champion, then every school in Nepal (and possibly also in St Petersburg) would hold him up as an example of empowerment.

But not too much empowerment.

Same reason I did.  The font, in some browsers, when only viewing the subject, the i looks like l  and your mind filled in girl because giri is not a common word in our language.

Yes I can confirm this.

What's more, ghosts are in fact afraid of spiders.

Mrs Maroczy won't even eat a papaya if a spider has touched it.

Okay, let me set the record straight....Spiders and ghosts are afraid of each other....and yet best of friends ! Come everybody - I should know. My best friend Kitty Kaboodle's a spider. We've always gotten together on Halloween....I mean, what would the most wonderful time of the year be like if you had one but not the other ?....Wink....
