I should write in first person as I am a webmaster of this website. I am a happy kid and "even my bad days ain't that bad". The more I grow, the more I learn about life and people, particularly about life and people in America. America is a blessed country and UMBC is its small paradise. I am really happy to be a part of this community and make my contribution. I am also happy to be a part of the chess program at Arbutus Middle School and help to popularize chess around. It is a true enjoyment to work with these kids.

Some of my achievements:

  1. US Woman Vice-Champion 2007
  2. Ukrainian Woman Champion 2000
  3. Member of Ukrainian Olimpic Chess Team, 2001-2004
  4. 2 times European Team Champion
  5. Vice-Champion of Europe among girls under 14
  6. 4 times Ukrainian Champion among girls
