That person writes like a male, linguistically speaking. Females are prone to use passive voice much more when writing, and judging from her forum posts, Mariska Angela almost always used active voice.

Originally posted by RevRSleekerYeah - surprisingly enough, there actually appear to be two Mariska Angela's which have played on chess sites. The admins here are pretty sensitive about giving away personal information, even that which is publically available, so I'll not give any details, but you can find information (on non-chess sites that are known to frown on aliases) on two Mariska Angelas that play chess (and I'm pretty sure they are different people).

Originally posted by ZygalskiYaaa...happily, I'd say it's not one and the same. That was a Belgiun girl, I think, from memory...there were various fotos of that mariska available last year BUT this is another aspect of the debate here, the 'alluring mariska' fotos and just who were they AND whether the 'RHP mariska' was indeed female lol.

Originally posted by RevRSleekerYeah, the chess.com's Mariska Angela is most likely Belgian Mariska Angela Brouwer. If you look hard, you can find that she was at one time a member of the Belgian correspondance chess association or whatever its called.
