I have been beaten in chess by exactly 5 people. EVER.

One was a female. Dang was she good! (Another was a male officially rated as a Grand Master. Wow was it fun when I managed to beat him!)

The female is also gorgeous.

She could play competitively, as could I. We both have other things on our plates though. More lucrative things. No discrimination here.

IOW, the article makes very good sense.

A woman that’s very good at chess and gorgeous to boot gives her an edge playing against men. :-)

Does a Chess Grand Master ever make as much as the second string catcher for a mediocre Major League Baseball team?

As we all know, the answer to Dr. Sowell's question "How long will we continue to take something that has never happened, and never had much chance of happening, as a norm?" is

As long as the libtards are in charge.

Was it that hot russian gal who plays chess?

I picked the top four women in the world and found their best picture each with a chess board, among the first four rows on an image search:

Hou, Yifan - rating 2653

Ju, Wenjun - rating 2578

Koneru, Humpy - rating 2575

Kosteniuk, Alexandra - rating 2549

I cannot imagine which player you might be thinking of.
