Interviews with Myriam Roy, IM Cristina Adela Foisor, IM Jovanka Houska
It is lovely to listen to the 12-year-old Myriam, who is of Chinese extraction,
speaking with the French-Canadian accent. Cristina Foisor talks about her chess
family – her husband is the trainer and her older daugher already a women
grandmaster. Jovanka Houska reveals that she was born of Argentinian partents
in the UK. The name Houska comes from her great-grandfather, who was Czech,
and Jovanka is a Serbian name. This girl is aiming to become the first female
to get a full grandmaster titel in Britain. Jovanka has written a book on the
Caro-Kann, her bread-and-butter defence against 1.e4.
