        That’s Anna Sharevich. She was hanging out with Gata at the World Open. And sorry, Katya, but she is hot.

        Looks a lot like Anna Sharevich but it’s really WGM Mariya Fominykh!!!

        A match between them would generate a lot of coverage….that’s the world, like it or not.

        To all the droolers: I have no problem with your behavior, which has been characterized as sexist and moronic by “Katya.” What I have a problem with is your taste. I mean come one, she’s OK I suppose.
