Swinging Swede Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 And speaking of Australia, here is WIM Arianne Caoili, 2144. Quote
T.D. Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 The photogenic Ms. Sharevich is a special favorite of Chessbase... I've always been fond of Regina Pokorna (SVK): Quote

T.D. Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Is it just me or are some of them just plain nerds? It was downhill from the second post on ... Well, absent nerdish tendencies it'd probably be difficult to achieve an international chess title, even WIM (Women's International Master). Might be more hotties in the WFM (Women's FIDE Master) category; certainly more candidates. Quote

Swinging Swede Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Super model Carmen Kass, who also is president of the Estonian Chess Federation. Playing against the Indian ace GM Anand Quote
T.D. Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) It was widely reported (well, in chess circles) that Kass was dating German GM Eric Lobron. The reports caused a certain amount of amazement. The couple has since broken up. Edited January 11, 2008 by T.D. Quote

Caoili is GM Lev Aronian's girlfriend, but that's pretty well known. Edited January 11, 2008 by connoisseur series500 Quote

Maybe beauty is just skin deep with you, Dan, I don't know. What the fuck is a chess nerd anyway? Part of the purpose of showing these pics is to overcome the outdated stereotype. Just because most Americans don't play chess doesn't mean that this is the case across the world. Chess has changed a lot since the Bobby Fischer days. We've got a lot more female players and chess is big in the scholastic system. Maybe fans of the Three Sounds might be considered "nerds" to other people. Be careful about your simplistic labels, dude. Edited January 11, 2008 by connoisseur series500 Quote
