 | | ChessHigherCat: Wow, more than just a pretty face! That whole sequence beginning with 13...ef2 was amazing, although I'm not sure white found the best defense. |

| Feb-11-17 | | AlicesKnight: 10.g4? - offering the KRP and initiating a flank "attack" with no central security? Black's d-pawn counter-charge is lovely, culminating in the N promotion. 21.Rxh4 has an air of desperation about it - trying to find a perpetual (I have no idea...)? |

| Feb-11-17 | | The Kings Domain: The charming Ukrainian executes a farsighted queen sacrifice that leads to unquestionable dominance on the board. |

| Feb-11-17 | | 7he5haman: <AlicesKnight> Yup. I don't get why they didn't go 10.f4 first, with g4 to follow when the time is right. |

Does it mean that she is married or something? |

| | Richard Taylor: 8. Be2 was sounder and 11. Ne4?? and then Bd3? mean White is losing. Instead it seems that: 11. ... Na4 is o.k. for White. |

| Feb-11-17 | | Ironmanth: Strong and well executed idea by Mariya here. Thanks for this one. Pretty evident that she is a former world champion, and yes, she does have a lovely face as well as a charming demeanor. |

| Feb-11-17 | | thegoldenband: First pun in a while that's made me actually LOL. (Or at least "amused sniffchuckle out loud".) |

| | ChessHigherCat: <goodevans I trust that your next post about Fab C will begin "Wow, more than just a handsome dude"?> I hate to betray your trust but I reserve the right to gender bias to that extent. Do I have to go out and marry a "dude" now because I have been so discriminatory as to marry a woman? I'm sure that would be "big o' me" but I pass. |

| Feb-12-17 | | goodevans: <ChessHigherCat> I wouldn't dream of denying you your gender bias, but I do find rather pathetic the fact that when commenting on a woman pursuing her chosen profession you feel the need to remark first on her attractiveness ahead of anything about her aptitude for it. |

It's in no way parallel to "What a hot dude", which is pure drivel. |
