I think a lot of chessplayers (and men in general) would take someone calling their wife a "milfy babe" as a compliment, especially an older player. Maybe even Vishy!? I have never met the ex-champ, so I have no way to know how he would feel about this, but he seems to have a great sense of humor. Maybe Aruna would appreciate the compliment too!? Older women who have had children tend to relish sincere compliments about their attractiveness...at least in the West...

this is brill: I'd just been saying to my hubby that its a pity cg can't announce that their darling won an impressive tournay because of the way they'd mishandled the comp & there it is. But what happens? everybody talks about everything else except the darling : )

Sure, has nothing to do with the male/female ratio among chess players.

He meant no offence. Our social mores /moral values don't change by way of happenstance, so direct your ire toward the social engineers and culture creators (who do).

I do not particularly like Carlsen's style, I need a little bit more tactics to not fall sleep, but Nakamura still has a way to go if he wants to achieve Carlsen has already achieved.

Political correctness rules the roost-don't even <think> anything out of line, or retribution shall be exacted by the PC police, without mercy.

There are times I think people are too hard on you. Then you post things like this, and I think you deserve everything you get.

You've labelled me a "disgrace"? A "Neanderthal"? "Poisoned" the site? Wow! On the basis of one playful comment which basically was meant in the spirit of Anand's wife is attractive. Being a tad humourless and just a tad quick to pronounce judgement because you're on the internet perhaps? I have feminist friends (and I consider myself a feminist) and I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem with me saying a woman is attractive. I'd say if a guy was handsome too. It's not a big deal.

Especially to disgraceful, pernicious Neanderthals, don't you know.
