Hmm. I don’t think saying she’s beautiful is good, bad, or neither. Intelligence and beauty are a winning combination. Can we quit pretending that people don’t have status/power because of their look? Noticing a person’s physical attractiveness doesn’t undermine our respect for their other capacities.
“Strange – when you put up a picture of a guy, no-one says ‘he’s a hunk all right!’.” – That’s probably because most of the people who post here are hetero males? “Why do we keep treating women as objects?” -We treat men as objects too. “She’s hot!” = “He makes a six figure salary!”
We have Kosteniuk to thank for degrading women by using sex appeal to promote herself instead of chess. Now that even after she is a GM, the label of Kournikova of chess sticks. It’s a shame cause she’s a decent player.
It she would have focused on chess instead of the BS marketing hype, she could be a respectable world champion. Now she’s just another one who wins a knock out world championship like Ponomariov and Khalifman.
Don’t know who she is but she’s a lot hotter than Kosteniuk. She’s a 10.

Tatiana Kosintseva, i guess. Some years ago.
Ivanchuk is a hunk of a guy 🙂 Happy?
“Why do we keep treating women as objects?”
Cause we are men. That’s what we do. Duh.

LOL, I believe it’s the third time her picture is shown as a trivia here. But I don’t mind, she’s smokin’ hot.
Anastasia Karlovic. Beautiful.
Anastasia Karlovich, the photo is taken in the main hall of San Sebastian’s townhall, the old casino where Capablanca had his first outting.
Susan, could you go ahead and supply a GIS link with these? I know it would save us a few precious seconds! 😉

More like 15 years old from the looks of her.
