Abby Marshall

Sixteen year old Abby Marshall - writer, poet, teenager, female, chessplayer. These are just a few faces of the young Ms. Marshall - but chessplayer is getting the most publicity these days, as she heads to the World Youth Chess Championships in Turkey as a representative of the USA. The event will be held at A comprehensive article was written about Abby and published at the dailypress.com today entitled "Iron Maiden" (oh, please!) Despite the cliches, it's a good enough article. Abby is a fine young woman and would be a good role model for anyone in the US. She's bright, talented in many areas other than chess, erudite, poised. Good luck to Abby and the other young players who will be representing the USA.

  1. I just played Abby in a simul at Virgina Tech over the weekend and, even though I got my butt kicked, I was overly impressed by, not only her chess prowess, but especially that she is such a charming person. She inspires my 9 yr. old daughter as well. Phil Shisbey
