World Chess Beauty Contest
In contrast to the World Chess Beauty Contest website that is in all the news lately, I may create the World Chess Ugly Contest. As a chess player, I know there would be many many more contestants. This beauty contest website, created by GM Vladislav Tkachiev, is a lame and dorky idea - typical of a chess player. I am guilty of the same as I posted about this before.
Tkachiev said that the people who do not play the game have a wrong opinion about chess. “They think that it is only a game for those who are quite inactive and unattractive and aged,” he said.
Yes, they are wrong - it is a game for those who are inactive, unattractive, aged and crazy.
Although there are exceptions - the picture is of International Woman Grandmaster Alexandra Kosteniuk. See more photos on her website.
