Welcome in the Year of the Pig
18.02.2007 Happy Chinese New Year!!! Welcome in the Year of the Pig (18 February 2007 – 6 February 2008). The Chinese New Year generally begins on the day of the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice, which was in 2006 on 22 December. In a 12-year cycle, each year is represented by an animal, in order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep (or Goat), Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig (or Boar). So everybody is an animal. Which animal you are depends on your Date of Birth. The Pig Chess Player Elo Top 5 is: Michael Adams (born 17-11-1971, Elo 2735), Ruslan Ponomariov (11-10-1983, 2723), Alexander Grischuk (31-1-1983, 2717), Vladimir Akopian (7-12-1971, 2700) and Dmitry Jakovenko (28-06-1983, 2691).
