11. I'm sure, as a female, she takes no abuse with the last name of |
"Humpy"
Anyway, This looks like part of the commentary concerning me in the middle of pinning trumad into the corner. * To unravel trumad's position, cboy4 need only put on his first grade thinking cap |

12. Humpy is her given name |
The family name is Koneru. In southern India, the family name is usually given first.
She had another given name for the first few years of her life, but when she developed a talent for chess her father renamed her Humpy because he thought it sounded Russian. I guess having a Russian name is supposed to make you a better chess player. |

18. The immature DUers (not me of course), will insinuate that she |
likes to "hump."

19. I get it, Cowboy |
It's just that mature DUers (not me, of course) keep it to themselves.
