Cari carried the mantle as the highest ranked female member of the AHA for many months until Sylvia's emergence at the Grand Slam. Cari's ranking was and is earned by her crafty play that involves plenty of extremes - moon shots or minus fives. Perhaps the quintessential "hot or cold" performer, Cari is often way ahead when she is "hot" and often the wheels can come completely off when she is "cold."

Nobody knows exactly what determines Cari's fortunes on a particular evening or in a specific game, but one surefire way to improve your chances against her is to place a sugar-based snack treat in the vicinity. That is sure to spawn some snacking activity and if the snacks are good, you might even distract her enough to give her the queen.
