  • Average Rating: 2158.

  • All FIDE titles and USCF ratings are from the crosstable published in Chess Life (1987, p. 126). However, Jezierska was incorrectly listed as a FM (FIDE Master) in Chess Life; she is a WFM (Woman FIDE Master). That error has been corrected. The states are from the top 50 women USCF rating list published in the April 1987 issue of Chess Life (1987, p. 272).

  • Akhsharumova is Mrs. Boris Gulko.

  • This was the third of (to date) three perfect scores in the US Women's Championship, the other two coming in 1942 and 1944.

  • Gina Linn and Gina Finegold are the same person.

  • Chess Life, February 1988, p. 126.
