      10 blondes vs. 10 brunettes

      Russia, Women's Chess


      When I posted about this event (as a decoy story) yesterday, many thought it was April 1 joke. It was actually a real event which took place on April 1 🙂

        I’m really glad they are promoting women’s chess. While these women have hight intellect, I think their pleasing aesthetics should be fully explored. I mean other stars (tennis, actresses,divas etc…) are using this to cash in (except they go way over board and as such I hope, many would not be role models for my future daughters).

        Anyway, I applaud people like Alexandra Kosteniuk, Tania Sachdev (and others) for exposing the beauty behind the intellect. Or should it be, the intellect behind the beauty? 🙂 Oh heck…

        Just watch the video below for beautiful female chess players!

        Note: scroll to 22-45 seconds and then 3:45 mn till the end to see them. We need to let these beauties know, they have lots of fans out there. Nothing better to see beautiful girls with brains in a game we love! (ahem chess)

        As for Judit Polgar, I can’t say enough about her. Alas, she’s already taken…. 🙂

        “It doesn’t look like there is a natural blonde amongst them!”

        Only one way to find out!

        Check the color of their nose hair!

        Do they still eat people in India?

        Hi Susan Polgar,

        Oh “Samatman” – take my previous posting for this title,in lighter sense,some times taking each and every word literally,will deprive you from enjoying the humorous side of the word.

        For women,it may be just another game between,sets of two different hair colors & styles. But for us(Men) its a feast to watch,the beauties battling out the game with the mind,usually they does it with their look – lol.[ If women’s mind & appearance go as hand & glove – we men are left with nothing but watering mouth,what else can be expected from us(Men)? – lol ]

        Cool Cool – Ladies don’t ever misunderstand us (Men),conceive my words has a compliment to you all,its really meant in that sense only.
